Katherine Ryan’s new show about being a single mum is going to be our next binge watch

It looks fantastic.

Comedian Katherine Ryan is well known for being honest and outspoken, particularly when it comes to her relationships and being a parent.

With that in mind it should come as no surprise that her new Netflix show The Duchess , which throws a light on single motherhood, is just as honest and we can’t wait to watch it.

Ryan, fresh off her Netflix special In Trouble, approached Netflix with an idea based on her life as a fabulous single mom living in London.

Season one of The Duchess follows Katherine as she debates if she should have a second child with her estranged and troubled baby daddy.

It is meant to be a Catastrophe-like single-cam comedy set in London and as someone who was obsessed with Absolutely Fabulous growing up I’m here for it.

As well as being comical, from the snippets that I’ve seen it also shows a different perspective on parenting and that just because you’re parenting differently, doesn’t mean you’re parenting incorrectly.

Coming to Netflix September 11 if you’re looking for a new binge watch fix then this is definitely one to add to the list.
