Official Netflix Trailer for “Hard Cell” – Comedy in a Women’s Prison [VIDEO]

Hard Cell is a documentary style comedy set in the fictional female prison, HMP Woldsley. Writer and creator Catherine Tate plays multiple characters from Laura Willis, the Governor who believes creativity leads to rehabilitation, to Big Viv, the psychopath lifer.

Set over a 6 week period during which the inmates rehearse a musical directed by ex-Eastender’s star Cheryl Fergison. Rehearsals draw together an oddball collection of women as they find their voices, grow in confidence, and strengthen their friendships. Funny yet surprisingly moving, Hard Cell leans into the comical truth of prison life.
