Critically acclaimed original British comedy Doll & Em will return to Sky Living in 2015

Following the global success of their self-penned first series, British actresses Emily Mortimer and Dolly Wells will return with a second instalment of the brutally honest and satirically funny take on the joy and pain of female friendship. 

Created and written by the real-life friends the new series will be set and shot on location in New York City with Dolly and Emily reprising their fictionalised characters, as they prepare to take on Broadway. But it’s not long before they’re tackling the pitfalls of curtain calls on the Big Apple’s famous stage.

As with the first series, a number of surprise A-list Hollywood cameos will make an appearance in this bittersweet tale which paints an intimate and honest portrait of female friendship.

Antonia Hurford-Jones, Sky Living Channel Director, commented; “I am extremely pleased to be able to confirm that Doll & Em will be returning to Sky Living next year. I’m so proud to have such an outstanding series on the channel. The extraordinarily smart, brilliantly funny way Dolly and Emily bring the universal theme of female friendship alive makes it the perfect series for Living.  I hope our customers are as excited as I am about series 2.” 

Dolly Wells and Emily Mortimer, commented; “We're both so thrilled to be filming another season of Doll and Em for Sky.”

International distribution for Doll & Em series 2 will be handled by Sky Vision.
