NNNNN
We Are Lady Parts is a lot of things: exhilarating, witty, funny, scabrous, pointed, punk, sadly relevant and absolutely necessary. It’s entertaining as hell, with a lively cast and a vivid, cinematic style.
Created by Nida Manzoor, Peacock's new comedy We Are Lady Parts is at once a delightful coming-of-age story and an authentic representation of varied Muslim experiences courtesy of its five punk-rock protagonists.
