BBC One comedy-drama Everything I Know About Love lands on BBC One and iPlayer on 7th June 2022, introducing viewers to a quartet of best friends who move to London together.
The series is set in the 2010s, and based on the bestselling memoir of the same name by Dolly Alderton (on whom the show's semi-fictionalised protagonist Maggie is loosely based).

Emma Appleton as Maggie
Who is Maggie? An aspiring writer in her early 20s, she moves to London for the first time and moves in with her three best friends: Birdy, Nell, and Amara. She is particularly close with childhood friend Birdy, who admires Maggie's confidence and sense of adventure and spontaneity.

Bel Powley as Birdy
Who is Birdy? A childhood friend of protagonist Maggie, Birdy is the more sensible member of the quartet, and at the start of the series she has confidence issues when it comes to men and dating, preferring to live vicariously through Maggie's wild anecdotes. However, this changes when she goes on a first date with Nathan.
Where have I seen Bel Powley before? She's known for The Morning Show, The King of Staten Island, Mary Shelley, The Diary of a Teenage Girl, A Royal Night Out (as Princess Margaret) and more.
