A female-led “non secular successor” to “Peaky Blinders” is within the works at BBC One. Deadline studies that “Dope Women” will delve “into the historical past of Soho’s legal underworld.”
Set within the early twentieth century, the six-part sequence is reportedly partly primarily based on “the true story of conservative, god-fearing 42-year outdated single mom Kate Meyrick, who builds a nightclub empire and legal household enterprise and turns into essentially the most harmful lady in London in addition to a competitor to Sensible Chang, the baron of Soho’s gritty underworld. Her nightclubs are fuelled by medication and alcohol that enable for a era of World Warfare I veterans and survivors to overlook their trauma and break by means of the inflexible patriarchal buildings of the period to permit girls to bop, have intercourse, and do medication with whoever they need.”
Written by Polly Stenham (“The Neon Demon”) and Alex Warren (“Eleanor”), the sequence is impressed by Marek Kohn’s non-fiction e book “Dope Women: The Start of the British Drug Underground.”
“Dope Women” doesn’t have a U.S. residence but, however talks with co-production companions and international streaming companies are underway.
