"I'm thrilled to be part of Girlfriends, written by the wonderful Kay Mellor and to be working not only with her but the stellar cast that has been assembled. It's a hugely exciting project and I feel enormously fortunate to be involved in it. I can't wait to get started," Logan said in a statement.

"A whole summer spent working on a women-driven script, written and directed by a woman who has proved herself many times over as a force of nature in TV drama alongside some of our most gifted female actors -- what's not to like?" Richardson added.

"I'm looking forward to working on this exciting new series with such a stellar cast. I have long been a fan of Kay's work and am relishing the opportunity to work alongside Miranda and Phyllis," Wanamaker remarked.
