Alma’s Not Normal season 1 began with a single episode in April 2020, which went on to win star and creator Sophie Willan a BAFTA in 2021, beating Ghosts, This Country and Charlie Brooker’s Antiviral Wipe.
In September 2021, with the pilot acting as the first episode, BBC2 released a six-part series following the irrepressible Boltonian and her inner circle - recovering heroin addict mum Lin (Siobhan Finneran), no nonsense gran Joan (Lorraine Ashbourne), and life-loving pal Leanne (Jayde Adams).
