Got a craving for some female-fronted comedy? We’ve got just the thing. Dinosaur, produced by the same team that brought us Fleabag and thriller series The Tourist.
It drops this weekend, and we’re recommending it for your spring-time watchlist. We see serious (and literal) sisterhood vibes here, a coming-of-age story told through the prism of navigating life as an autistic woman, showcasing the importance of family and friendship.
Here’s everything we know about Dinosaur.

What is Dinosaur about?
The plot synopsis for the comedy series reads as follows: “Nina’s world is shaken when her sister Evie, also her best friend, hastily decides to get engaged, threatening to upend the dynamics of their close relationship.”
It will navigate Nina’s journey as she grapples with what her sister’s impulsive decision will mean for her own life, as she encounters challenges in her career as a palaeontologist and her own new significant relationship with Lee, a kind-hearted man that she forges a close bond with.
Basically, it’s about a neurodivergent woman working out all the things we all have to in life: love, relationships, careers, family – told with a dry Scottish humour.
“Dinosaur is a coming of age series exploring those moments of change we experience in the various relationships in our life including sisterhood, friendship and romance,” the show’s plot synopsis adds. Sounds delightful.
