Nicola Coughlan’s star is just rising and rising.
And now she has just landed another highly coveted role.
She will star in Channel 4’s anthology series, I Am…
The Derry Girls star will appear in I Am Helen, alongside Peaky Blinders star Joe Cole.

Previous instalments into the anthology included Kate Winslet’s I Am Ruth, Vicky McClure’s I Am Nicola and Suranne Jones’ I Am Victoria.
Speaking about the upcoming series, Nicola said: “It’s an absolute honour to be part of telling the next I Am… story alongside Dominic Savage – a singular talent and a storyteller deeply committed to exploring the breadth of the female experience.
“To follow in the footsteps of the brilliant women who’ve collaborated with him on this series feels truly surreal, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be embarking on this journey.”
While Gemma Boswell, Commissioning Editor, Channel 4 Drama at Channel 4, said: “We are delighted to welcome back Dominic Savage alongside the supremely talented Nicola Coughlan in I Am Helen.

“The I Am… series is a powerful and timely portrait of our times, and we are thrilled to have the powerhouse combination of Dominic and Nicola to tell such a distinctive and impactful story.”
No release date for the two-part series has been announced yet. But we will be keeping our eyes peeled.
