Thea Sharrock spoke to HeyUGuys at the Ladies First UK Premiere at Ham Yard Hotel, London, and the director of Netflix's most anticipated comedy of 2026 was characteristically confident, considered and quietly funny about the enormous task of building a believable parallel world from the ground up. In this candid conversation, Sharrock spoke about walking the tonal tightrope between satire and sketch, why getting the tone right was always her primary concern, the deeply collaborative process that shaped every detail — and exactly how much chaos Richard E. Grant brought to the set.
Interviews for Ladies First at the UK Premiere. The film stars Sacha Baron
Cohen, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Emily Mortimer, Charles Dance,
Fiona Shaw, Tom Davis, Weruche Opia and Kathryn Hunter; it was written by
Natalie Krinsky, Katie Silberman and Cinco Paul and directed by Thea Sharrock.
Colin Hart and Abigail Shii ask the questions.
Plot: High-powered ad exec Damien Sachs has it all — money, power, and a
never-ending stream of casual flings. But on the eve of his promotion to
CEO, he wakes up in his personal worst nightmare: a parallel world dominated
by women, where the rules are reversed and he must go head-to-head with a
formidable female counterpart who threatens everything he thought he knew.
Ladies First will be available on Netflix from 22nd May 2026.
