BBC drama is actively looking for shows from underrepresented groups, including Asian creatives and writers with disabilities, the broadcaster’s director of drama Piers Wenger said on Wednesd…
, Wenger said, “We are at relatively early days — she has been working on it pretty much hard on the heels of ‘I May Destroy You’ going out but Michaela likes to think and research and really feel her way into a subject. My strong instinct and based on the conversations I have had with her is that it will be every bit as radical as ‘I May Destroy You.'”
When asked about a possible seventh season for immensely popular police show “Line of Duty,” Wenger was tight-lipped and deferred to show creator Jed Mercurio’s standard “No comment” statement. Wenger was particularly enthused about “A Very British Scandal,” written by Sarah Phelps , starring Claire Foy as the Duchess of Argyll and Paul Bettany as the Duke of Argyll. The show focuses on the couple’s divorce, one of the most notorious legal cases of the 20th century.
The show is Blueprint Pictures’ follow up to the Emmy and BAFTA winning “A Very English Scandal.” “It’s every bit as bold and provocative and completely irresistible as the first one was,” Wenger said.
