In 2017, Oscar-nominated “Sound of Metal” actor Riz Ahmed gave a rousing speech to the House of Commons warning that the U.K. could lose its Muslim youth to extremism unless they see themselves represented on screen as something other than problematic stereotypes. “We are going to start losing British teenagers to the story that the next chapter in their lives is written with Isis in Syria,” said Ahmed in the now iconic speech.
Just a year later, the BBC’s Richard Madden-fronted “Bodyguard,” from “Line of Duty” creator Jed Mercurio, became the hottest U.K. export since “Downton Abbey,” scoring a major deal with Netflix that opened the show to a global audience. But underpinning this British success story was a key Muslim female character who, portrayed initially as a victim, turned out to be a terrorist herself.

U.K. broadcaster Channel 4 and NBCUniversal streamer Peacock’s riotous new comedy “We Are Lady Parts” is releasing an official soundtrack, Variety can reveal.
The stereotype-busting, Working Title-produced series about a fictional Muslim female punk band premiered on Channel 4 on Thursday to effusive praise from the U.K. press, which has widely noted that the show’s subject matter is effectively unprecedented on British television, where harmful misconceptions about the Muslim community are still rife in programming.
One look at the “We Are Lady Parts” track listing, which includes tongue-in-cheek songs such as “Ain’t No One Gonna Honour Kill My Sister But Me” and “Voldemort Under My Headscarf,” speaks volumes about the show, which boldly presents a group of female characters rarely seen on British and American lineups.
