‘We Are Lady Parts,’ ‘The Wonder Years’ Among Third Round of Peabody Awards 2022 Winners (FULL LIST)
Michael Schneider Variety Editor at LargePeacock’s “We Are Lady Parts” is among the latest entertainment series to be honored by the Peabody Awards, which announced the win on Wednesday morning.“The rebellious spirit of the Sex Pistols meets the guiding wisdom of the Quran in ‘We Are Lady Parts,’ Nida Manzoor’s subversive British comedy about an all-female, all-Muslim punk band,” the Peabodys said in a statement. “Dressed in hijabs and ripped jeans, niqab face scarves and combat boots, the women are poised to infiltrate London’s punk patriarchy with original songs like ‘Voldemort Under My Headscarf’ and ‘Ain’t No One Gonna Honour Kill My Sister But Me.’ This irreverent, charming, and utterly fresh series, obliterates MENA and South Asian stereotypes and fearlessly tackles taboos about Islam, offering a multifaceted depiction of Muslim women rarely seen on screen.” “We Are Lady Parts” comes from Working Title Television, a part of Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group.
