With a soundtrack that blends modern classics with original music – some of the girls learned new instruments to perform as a real band – this is an exuberant and joyful debut that deserves, at the very least, a second season – and a live tour to boot.”In November 2021, Channel 4 confirmed that We Are Lady Parts would indeed be returning to screens in the future.
