Molly Manny Walker, famed for causing quite an impact with her initial film “How to Have Sex,” is now moving into television for her first dramatic series entitled, “Major Players.
The series has been commissioned by Channel 4, with A24 producing.
As a passionate film critic, I embark on a captivating journey with “Major Players,” a gripping tale co-crafted by Walker and Yasmin Joseph, the dynamic duo behind “A Thousand Blows.” This enthralling series focuses on two young women standing at the precipice of adulthood, determined to establish a women’s soccer team.
Drawing from Walker’s personal experiences in high school where the need for crowd management overshadowed the importance of education, this series is more than just a sports drama; it’s a heartfelt ode to football that also delves humorously and wildly into the lives of London’s youth today. The narrative fearlessly tackles various themes, from friendship to contemporary gender politics.
Walker is additionally one of the founders of Babe City FC, a female and non-binary soccer team situated in London, specifically designed for individuals within the film industry. This inclusive club boasts a membership of more than 180 people.
Walker expressed eagerness about breathing life into the project titled ‘Major Players’. He described it as a tale of maturation, featuring first love, sorrow, and bicycle tricks, all unfolding within your community’s confines. His enthusiasm stems from his deep passion for women’s football, a field he strongly champions.
As a cinephile, I’ve got some exciting news about a movie that’s been making waves in the film industry. The captivating film titled “How To Have Sex” was created by Film4 and garnered significant recognition at prestigious events like the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and the European Film Awards. At Cannes, it won the Un Certain Regard award and the European Discovery – Prix FIPRESCI. Moreover, it received two BAFTA nominations for Outstanding British Film and Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director, or Producer. Incidentally, I had the privilege of serving as the head of the Un Certain Regard jury at the recently-concluded 2025 edition of Cannes. This movie is definitely worth checking out if you’re into thought-provoking cinema!
As a movie enthusiast, I’m absolutely pumped to be carrying on this adventure with Molly, a fresh, electrifying voice in British filmmaking who’s making waves. Joining forces with Yasmin Joseph and the crew at A24 on ‘Major Players,’ I can’t help but feel the adrenaline surge through me. This project, brimming with intelligence, emotion, and unbridled vitality, aligns perfectly with our commitment to nurture innovative storytelling across Film4 and Channel 4 Drama.
Casting details will be announced in due course.
