BBC Two has commissioned new comedy Henpocalypse! from Hullraisers writer Caroline Moran.
The show follows bride-to-be Zara and her four best mates from the West Midlands on a hen weekend at an isolated cottage in Wales.
The party is somewhat ruined, however, by the end of the world - an apocalyptic event that wipes out almost all male members of the population.
"I can't bloody believe I am getting to make a sitcom for BBC Two!" said Moran, also known for Raised By Wolves. "That's pretty much all I've ever wanted in life.
"The nation is now officially invited to our never-ending post-apocalyptic hen do. I guarantee high drama, tons of jokes, massive surprises and lots of penis-themed pound shop tat!"
Tanya Qureshi, head of comedy at the BBC, added: "What could be more hilariously nightmarish than a hen do that never ends?!
"Caroline has created a very funny show with an incredible collection of women at the heart of it. We're incredibly excited to bring Henpocalypse! to BBC Two and BBC iPlayer viewers later next year."
Filming on the show is expected to begin in early 2023.
