Katherine Ryan Set for Netflix Comedy

Series ‘The Duchess’

By Stewart Clarke

Netflix

Netflix subscribers are about to see a lot more of Katherine Ryan. The British-based comic
and actress is writing and starring in “The Duchess,” a new comedy series for the streaming
giant from 3Arts and Clerkenwell Films, the producers of “The End of the F***ing
World.”

Canadian-Irish performer Ryan will also record a new stand-up comedy special for Netflix,
which will be shot in the U.S. She is a familiar face to viewers in the U.K. as a regular host
and participant on several comedy panel shows. She has already had a special on Netflix and
will also star in its upcoming 10-part panel series “The Fix” with host Jimmy Carr.

“The Duchess” sees her move into series for the streamer. Netflix said she will play a
“fashionably disruptive single mom” whose daughter, Olive, is her greatest love and who is
debating having a second child with her greatest enemy, Olive’s dad.

The half-hour show will run to six parts. Ryan will executive produce “The Duchess”
alongside Kitty Laing, Dave Becky and Josh Lieberman for 3Arts, and Murray Ferguson,
Petra Fried, and Ed Macdonald for BBC Studios-backed Clerkenwell Films.
