South London millennial Queenie won the hearts of readers and made author Candice CartyWilliams’ 2019 debut novel an award-winning bestseller.

Now, the story has been made into an eight-part series starring Dionne Brown as budding journalist Queenie, who is fiercely loyal to her tight-knit group of friends as she navigates her messy love life and broken relationship with her mum.
