Shrill’s second series of eight 25-minute episodes drops on US streaming service Hulu on January 24 and  will be available as a boxset on BBC iPlayer the following day.

Sue Deeks, head of BBC programme acquisition, says: ‘We are delighted that Shrill’s mix of sharp social commentary, engaging characters and relatable situations have proved to be such a hit with BBC Three viewers.’

All episodes of the first series are available now on iPlayer.
