Actor-writer Ambreen Razia is set to develop a comedy drama series titled Wasted for Expectation Entertainment.
Razia is known for her role as Shandy Fine in Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso.
The series will revolve around addiction and postpartum depression between a mother and daughter. With the main focus on junior doctor, the series also throws status of Muslim immigrants.
“The show lifts the lid on the Muslim women that society refuses to acknowledge and uncovers a very personal and specific experience that we have yet to see on screen. The series will contend with existing cultural and religious attitudes alongside the general expectations of womanhood. As a British Pakistani girl growing up in London, my experience bears little resemblance to what I’ve seen depicted on British television," Razia was quoted as saying by a Variety report.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Ambreen on this project – she’s a huge talent, on screen and off, and infectiously passionate about bringing to life the lives of British Muslim women who have yet to be celebrated on TV. We are so excited to be on the journey with her,” Morwenna Gordon, executive producer of Expectation Entertainment said.
