Michaela Coel, creator an🐲d star of Chewing Gum and I May Destroy You, has a new show on the way – and it may link back to her other work.

Her most recent project, I May Destroy You, follows Arabella (Coel), a writer who struggles to piece together the events of her sexual assault and rebuild her life. It aired last summer on BBC One in the UK and HBO in the US. Although🅺 the series was snubbed at the Golden Gl♎obes, it's currently up for eight BAFTAs.

"What relationship that show will have with the original series, [is for Michaela to decide]. There’s a relatio🐟nship between Chewing Gum and I May Destroy You. There’s a through line to her thinking. I suspect there may be elements [of I May Destroy You] but it’s really too early to say anything specific."

Chewing Gum, the other show Coel is known for, aired between 2015 and 2017. The sitcom follows Tracey (Coel), a religious 24-year-old who wants to los🗹e her virginity and learn more about the world. 

The new, untitled series was announced during a virtual event in which the BBC announced their upcoming slate of draꦡmas, including an adaptation of The Gallows Pole from The Virtues creator Shane Meadows꧑ and an adaptation of writer Dolly Alderton's memoir Everything I Know About Love.
