EXCLUSIVE: The meteoric rise of women’s soccer is continuing. The origins of the women’s game is to be explored in a feature from director Farren Blackburn and Free Turn Entertainment.
Lily and the Rockets is set against the backdrop of World War I and is based on Rebecca Stevens’ novel of the same name. News of the UK-made drama could hardly be more timely, with England’s Lionesses set to take on Spain in the World Cup final on Sunday in Australia.
Blackburn — who was an England youth soccer player and director of The Fades and episodes of Doctor Who, The Innocents and The Defenders — has written the script and will direct. Stevens is a creative consultant.
Stevens’ book, which was published by Chicken House in 2019 and aimed at pre-teens, was inspired by the true-life stories of pioneering women’s soccer players Gerty Naylor and Lily Dodd.
Lily and the Rockets will follow 18-year-old Lily, a courageous young woman who challenges the gender norms of the early 20th Century, driven by her passion for football and her skills as a goalkeeper. She joins a group of spirited women to form a soccer team at the local munitions factory where they work, and their journey becomes a tale of battling prejudice, societal barriers, sexism and scepticism to create a legacy that would transform the story of women’s soccer.
Casting is set to commence next month ahead of production in 2024. Free Turn, which brothers Nick and Jon Hamm and ex-WPP exec Gemma Batterby launched three years ago, is producing. The production company is best known for feature film Gigi and Nate and has made several content and personnel moves this year following new investment.
