Katy is a British television adaptation of Katy by Jacqueline Wilson, which is a modern retelling of What Katy Did by Susan Coolidge. It first aired on the CBBC Channel on 13 March 2018.
The series follows the Wilson novel with some minor tweaks:
Katy Carr is an 11-year old tomboyish girl in a blended family, who is having trouble getting along with her stepmother, Izzy. After a bad fall, she learns to adapt to being in a wheelchair, whilst coping with the transition between primary and secondary school.
The series was commissioned by CBBC in June 2017. [1] Katy won two Children's BAFTAs: Best Young Performer for Chloe Lea and Best Writer for Tom Bidwell. Katy was also nominated for Best Drama Series [2]
Letty Butler won a Children's BAFTA for her role as Izzy.
