The darkly comic story follows Shy (Hayley Squires) a cleaner scraping by and dreaming of a new life in Portugal, and Lola, played by Bel Powley, an ex-model-turned-grifter who arrives in town with trouble at her heels.
The two very different women are forced to become allies when a murder entangles them in the criminal underworld operating in Shy's small coastal town in the North of England.
The new series is based on the French television drama Cheyenne and Lola which ran for one season in 2020.
Alongside the Night Manager, Hayley Squires, who is a two-time BAFTA nominee, is known for Call the Midwife, I, Daniel Blake, and Adult Material.
Squires and Powley have previously worked together over 10 years ago on the romantic comedy-drama film A Royal Night Out.
The six-part series was penned by alumni BBC writer Amanda Coe and helmed by accomplished director Sam Donovan whose works include the hit series Severance and Widows Bay.
