The Roku Channel has picked up the Canadian streaming comedy Bria Mack Gets a Life for North America, the U.K. and Mexico.
The licensing deal is for the six-part series that follows Bria McFarlane, played by Malaika Hennie-Hamadi, as a 25-year-old black woman navigating adulthood in a predominantly white world. That’s made all the more difficult, yet more tolerable, by Black Attack (Hannan Younis) being her invisible hype girl.
As Bria balances being the most educated family member and her overdue credit card bill, Black Attack expresses her inner thoughts that reveal who Bria wants to be, but doesn’t believe she’s allowed to. And just as Bria moves back home and her mother looks to retire, she has to assemble her life — friends, dating, a place to live, and most importantly, a job to fund it all — before time runs out.
