Following the U.K.’s recent controversial Supreme Court ruling, the BBC‘s newest TV series is attracting interest for bringing Paris Lees’ coming-of-age memoir to the small screen.
Set to the beat of the Y2K club scene in the early 2000s, What It Feels Like for a Girl follows 13-year-old Byron (Ellis Howard) before she becomes known as Paris, and who will do anything to escape the working-class coal mining town of Hucknall, Nottinghamshire. After becoming a teen sex worker and discovering the mesmerizing underworld of Nottingham, Byron finds belonging with “The Fallen Divas,” a “charismatic group of hedonistic misfits” and dives into self-discovery fueled by drugs, love and anarchy.
