Rules Of The Game is written by Ruth Fowler with Jennifer Sheridan directing all four episodes.
Maxine Peake said: “What a glorious cast.
“Working alongside my fellow sisters each day, with their commitment and understanding towards Ruth Fowler’s script about sexual politics in the workplace, with Jennifer Sheridan directing, has reminded me once again why we need to keep fighting for more women to have a voice in the filmmaking process.”
Rakhee Thakrar added: “It’s been pure joy working with this cast, who all bring such authenticity, heart and humour to any scene.
“Maxine Peake in particular has been an absolute highlight as our lead.”
