‘How to Have Sex’ Director Molly Manning Walker Sets Debut TV Series ‘Major Players’ With A24, Channel 4
The Cannes-winning director of 'How to Have Sex' will direct and co-write the series about an all-women soccer team in London
Co-written by Walker and Yasmin Joseph (“A Thousand Blows”), “Major Players” follows two girls on the brink of adulthood and their mission to start a women’s soccer team. Inspired by Walker’s own experiences at high school where the crowd control was more urgent than the education, the series is described as a “a love letter to football and a funny and wild exploration of young people in London today, tackling topics from friendship to gender politics.” “Molly is one of the most exciting new filmmaking voices to emerge from the U.K. in years, and it’s a thrill to be continuing our journey with her on ‘Major Players,’ alongside Yasmin Joseph and our friends at A24,” said Ollie Madden, director of Film4 and Channel 4 drama.
