Little Birds (TV series)


Little Birds is an upcoming Sky Atlantic original drama television series starring Juno Temple and produced by Warp Films. The 6-episode series is set to be released on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV on 4 August 2020.
Playfully inspired by Anaïs Nin’s posthumously published 1979 collection of erotic short stories, Little Birds weaves stories of love and desire together with personal drama and political intrigue, set against a uniquely distinctive backdrop of hedonism and conflict. Little Birds was filmed on location in Andalucia with studio elements in Manchester.

Premise

Little Birds is set in Tangier in 1955, in the famous ‘international zone’ - one of the last outposts of colonial decadence, and a culture shock in more ways than one for troubled American debutante Lucy Savage. Lucy desires an unconventional life free from the societal cage she’s been kept in and, along with Tangier itself, finds herself on the cusp of achieving a painful yet necessary independence.
