Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Coel grew up in Tower Hamlets and based Tracey's Pentecostal church on her own upbringing, making the specificity feel lived-in rather than observed.
Coel wrote the entire first season alone while working retail, and originally pitched it as 'a religious virgin who wants to have sex'—the network wanted more conventional structure, she refused.
