Best known for making a name for herself as Philomena Cunk and for her unmistakable deadpan humor, Diane Morgan is putting that signature delivery to good use in the new BBC series Ann Droid, which she created and wrote with Sarah Kendall.
Debuting in July 2026, the absurdist comedy follows a hapless eldercare robot named Linda (Morgan) as she attempts to help the humans around her, only for her efforts to expose and critique their increasingly absurd behavior.
So, when will Ann Droid be available in the States for streaming? Here is everything we know so far.
