Nobel Peace Prize Winner Malala Yousafzai is set to guest star in the second season of ‘We Are Lady Parts’.
We Are Lady Parts, a musical comedy about an all-women punk rock band, is written and directed by Nida Manzoor.
There’s no confirmation about what Yousafzai or Syal will be doing in the new season, but the official summary says ‘a rival band threatens their [the band’s] delicate status quo’, Vulture detailed.
The first pictures for the new season of the critically acclaimed show dropped on Instagram, announcing that it will be released on May 30 on Peacock in the United States and on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom. All episodes will be available on the release date, making it easy for fans to binge the show.
According to Deadline, the series, inspired by Manzoor’s experiences with diverse cultural collectives and artists in London, follows the Muslim punk band Lady Parts.
The band consists of nerdy student and lead guitarist Amina Hussain (Anjana Vasan), fierce front-woman and vocalist Saira (Sarah Kameela Impey), edgy drummer Ayesha (Juliette Motamed), and the calm and collected bass player Bisma (Faith Omole). Additionally, no one can forget Lucie Shorthouse’s portrayal of Mumtaz, the band’s burqa-clad, no-nonsense manager.
Apart from Malala, English actor and comedian Meera Syal is also set to guest star. The show also stars Aiysha Hart, Zaqi Ismail, and Shobu Kapoor.
