The BBC’s triple-BAFTA nominated drama What It Feels Like for a Girl based on Paris Lees’ memoirs is heading to Prime Video in the States.

The show launches on the Amazon streamer today to mark the start of Pride Month.

Adapted from the memoir by journalist and author Lees, What It Feels Like for a Girl follows teenager Byron (Ellis Howard) as they escape a former mining town and are swept into its underground club scene, discovering identity, friendship and survival among a chaotic chosen family known as the Fallen Divas. Show also stars Ellis Howard (Catherine the Great, The Rachel Incident) as Byron, with Hannah Walters (Adolescence, A Thousand Blows, Boiling Point), Laura Haddock (The Recruit, The Capture) and Michael Socha (Showtrial, This is England).

The BBC series from Hamnet producer Hera Pictures was critically acclaimed and nominated for five BAFTAs including best actor for breakout Howard and Best Limited Drama up against the likes of Adolescence.

Liza Marshall, Founder of Hera Pictures and What It Feels Like for a Girl EP, said: “We are immensely proud of What It Feels Like for a Girl. From its glowing critical reception to its significant awards recognition, the series resonated with UK audiences in a way that felt truly profound. Our exceptional cast and crew have delivered a piece of television that is fearless, funny, and deeply human. We are delighted that the show has found its U.S. home, and we look forward to American viewers meeting Byron and the Fallen Divas on this unforgettable journey.”

It’s been a good week for sales of BBC shows to the U.S. On Friday, Paramount+ revealed it had picked up Nicôle Lecky’s Wild Cherry.

ITV Studios struck the deal.
