Sabrina Jalees will play agent Farah Jalali, with Schitt’s Creek‘s Emily Hampshire and Canada’s Drag Race winner Priyanka will star as Vanessa and Tarek from third novel Tough Guy.
Season two, which is rumoured to run to 12 episodes, will premiere on HBO in the US and Sky Atlantic in the UK and Ireland in Spring 2027.
