That’s it. That’s really all anyone needs to know. Sally Wainwright, the creator behind the phenomenal British series Happy Valley returns with a brilliant cast of familiar British actresses — Joanna Scanlan, Tamsin Greig, Lorraine Ashbourne, Taj Atwal, and Rosalie Craig — and a “bold, music-fueled drama that celebrates friendship, rebellion, and refusing to be silenced.” They write songs about “being middle-aged, menopausal, and more or less invisible.”

That’s all I need to know. Fortunately, the trailer reinforces everything that we could have hoped for from Riot Women, which premieres on Britbox on January 14.
