New Female-Led Sitcom for E4

LONDON: E4 has commissioned Drifters, a new comedy-drama series about a trio of young women entering the world of adulthood.

Starring Jessica Knappett, Lydia Rose Bewley and Lauren O’Rourke, Drifters revolves around the lives of Meg, Bunny and Laura, three women who are learning what it’s like to live in the real world after college. The show, which was written by Knappett, is produced by Bwark Productions.

E4’s comedy commissioning editor, Fiona McDermott, remarked: "Drifters promises to be a really funny sitcom about really funny girls. It’s that simple. Jess is a fab talent and it’s great to be working with her and the chaps at Bwark on something new."
