“This series will be a tribute to the giants who came before us and walked cold streets to create new lives for themselves.” – Sir Lenny Henry

 

Written and created by Sir Lenny Henry, Three Little Birds is a spirited, moving, funny and utterly heartfelt drama. A triumphant celebration of immigration, community and the strength of Black womanhood, it was inspired by the life-affirming stories of Sir Lenny Henry’s mother and all those who have travelled to make Britain their home. Set in 1957, post-Windrush, and amidst the booming decade set alight by promise, the rhythm of rock and roll, swing, Hollywood starlets and fabulous fashion, Three Little Birds will introduce Dudley and the rest of the world to gregarious sisters Leah (Neil) and Chantrelle (Coomber) and their virtuous, bible-loving acquaintance, Hosanna (Belo), as they board a cruise ship from Jamaica bound for a new life in Blighty.
