Five women come together to create a makeshift punk-rock band and discover they have a lot to say... As they juggle demanding jobs, grown-up children, complicated parents, husbands who’ve buggered off, and disastrous dates and relationships, the band becomes a catalyst for change in their lives, and it’s going to make them question everything.
The six-part series is a testament to the power of friendship, music, and the resilience of women who refuse to be silenced by age or expectation. As the story progresses, it’s more than music that binds them; a deeply potent, long-buried secret begins to surface – one that unexpectedly entangles Kitty and Beth, the two unlikely creative masterminds behind the band, in a complex triangle - and threatens to tear everything apart.
Riot Women, the brand-new drama from the multi-BAFTA award-winning writer Sally Wainwright, will premiere on BBC iPlayer and BBC One in the UK later this year.
