Exciting New Drama Arrives This August

There is wonderful news for fans of captivating storytelling, as the first trailer has been officially released for the bold and gripping Sky original drama, Little Birds. This sensational new series is set to bring a fresh and exciting perspective to screens across the UK, arriving on both Sky and NOW TV from 4 August. It is a truly special addition to the summer viewing schedule that promises to engage and inspire audiences.

A Journey to 1950s Tangier

Springboarding from the erotic vignettes of Anais Nin, the series transports viewers to the vibrant Tangier International Zone of the 1950s. The story follows New York heiress Lucy Savage, played by Juno Temple, who arrives fresh off the transatlantic steamer ready for love and marriage in exotic climes. While her initial plans take an unexpected turn, she discovers a world in flux, quivering on the cusp of independence. This setting offers a mesmerising backdrop for a tale of self-discovery and freedom.

Bringing this vision to life is BAFTA-nominated Warp Films, known for their work on The Virtues. The talented cast includes Yumna Marwan, Hugh Skinner, Nina Sosanya, David Costabile, Raphael Acloque, Rossy de Palma, and Amy Landecker. Together, they create a witty, moving, and distinctly provocative journey. The series features a myriad of fascinating characters, including the scandalous dominatrix Cherifa Lamor, who captures Lucy's imagination and helps guide her through this diverse world.

Perfect Summer Viewing

Described as a contemporary and daring tale, Little Birds is a bold and subversive re-invention of melodrama for modern times. It is an utterly unique and original series that demonstrates astonishing visual ambition. Cameron Roach, Director of Drama at Sky, has expressed great pride in bringing this audacious signature piece to their portfolio. All episodes of this brand new drama will be available to watch starting 4 August, offering a perfect opportunity for viewers to enjoy a mesmerising rabbit hole of storytelling.
