Funny Woman S1-2
Season 2 of Funny Woman returns BAFTA nominee Gemma Arterton (The King’s Man, The Girl with All the Gifts) to her role as Barbara Parker/Sophie Straw, a Blackpool beauty queen trying to make it as a comedian in London at the height of the Swinging Sixties.
Season 2 comes in with Sophie on a high. She is the nation’s favourite TV comedy star, she’s got a group of good friends, and her romance with Dennis is full of promise. But trouble is just round the corner …
Based on the novel Funny Girl by Oscar nominee Nick Hornby (About a Boy, An Education), Funny Woman is created by Slow Horses writer Morwenna Banks, who also happens to be the voice of Mommy Pig on Peppa Pig.
Gemma Whelan (Yara Greyjoy in Game of Thrones, Marian in Gentleman Jack) and BAFTA nominee Tim Key (Mickey 17) join the cast this season.
