One Of The Most Undersung Shows Is Back — And Here’s An Exclusive First Look

The Peacock comedy series following the members of an all-female Muslim punk band returns May 30.
There’s a real go-big-or-go-home energy that crackles throughout the Peacock comedy series “We Are Lady Parts.”
That kind of buoyant maximalism is a throughline connecting much of writer-director Nida Manzoor’s work, including her debut directorial feature film last year, the genre-bending heist comedy “Polite Society.”
Now that Manzoor has the success of both the series’ first season, which premiered to great acclaim in 2021, and “Polite Society” under her belt, it’s no surprise that Season 2 of “We Are Lady Parts” goes even bigger and bolder.
The show follows the members of Lady Parts, an all-female British Muslim punk band: Amina (Anjana Vasan), Saira (Sarah Kameela Impey), Ayesha (Juliette Motamed) and Bisma (Faith Omole), plus their manager, Momtaz (Lucie Shorthouse). Everything about the new season feels like the volume has been turned up, from more impressive songs and visual set pieces to deeper themes and conversations among the characters about art and identity.
“Everyone was able to level up in Season 2 across the board,” Manzoor said in an interview this week, explaining how these last few years have given her a greater “sense of being self-assured and being confident in my voice.”
