Katherine Ryan is set to star in her own Netflix series, which she will also
write.
The Canadian-Irish comedian will play a single mother in The Duchess, an
upcoming six-part show, Variety reported.
The Duchess will be executive-produced in part by Clerkenwell Films, the
British company that previously worked on the acclaimed dark comedy-
drama The End of the F***ing World.
Ryan, who has an eight-year-old daughter with a former boyfriend, will star
as a "fashionably disruptive single mum" who adores her daughter Olive –
and is considering having another child with Olive's father despite their
conflictual relationship.
The performer has a well-established relationship with Netflix.
She taped a stand-up special titled Katherine Ryan: In trouble for the
streamer last year and is scheduled to record a new one in the US.
Ryan, a regular guest on panel shows, will also be a permanent team
captain in Netflix's upcoming unscripted comedy show The Fix, which will
be hosted by Jimmy Carr.
