When Saturday Night Live’s Aidy Bryant announced her new series, Shrill, back in 2019, we were instantly hooked.

Based on the critically-acclaimed memoir Shrill: Notes From a Loud Woman by blogger Lindy West, it followed ambitious journalist Annie, who had an insufferable boss, a frustrating situationship and a brilliant best friend (played perfectly by Lolly Adefope).

It was funny, smart, modern – and, as one Stylist writer put it, “Finally, a television show that knows how to portray fat women.”
