BBC Comedy 'Such Brave Girls' Will Come to Hulu

Kat Sadler's Such Brave Girls was initially put to pilot back in 2021 at the BBC as a test to see if the writer, then best known as part of the team working on Mel Giedroyc's reality comedy Unforgivable, could handle her own show. The resulting series is an autobiographical comedy that finally got commissioned early in 2023 as part of a larger slate of series that featured diverse voices both in front of and behind the cameras. The series got off the ground with filming in May 2023, with BBC Three committing to airing the show now that it was back to being an established linear channel instead of a streaming-only one.

However, no American partner was announced then, and it seemed like the very British nature of the story (not to mention the traumatic issues it explored) might have prevented it from finding a buyer. But with the show now poised to premiere in the U.K. in the coming weeks, it turns out BBC Three will license the series to its usual partner in streaming, Hulu, with which it produced the romantic hits Normal People and Conversations with Friends along with Irish partner RTE.

However, unlike Obituary, which RTE teamed up with Hulu to premiere recently without BBC Three, this is not following anything close to that vein, not even in a twisted sense. As the BBC Three logline describes the series, the love here is only terrifying. "Dysfunctional family sitcom following sisters Josie and Billie and their single mother Deb navigating life armed with nothing but poor judgment and self-esteem exclusively tied to people who couldn't care less about them. They're vain, selfish, heavily in debt, pathologically desperate for affection, and bursting with misplaced, terrifying love."
