Ann Droid Trailer Song | 2026 BBC Series

Ann Droid is a six-part BBC comedy co-created and co-written by Diane Morgan and Sarah Kendall.

Set in a near-future suburban Britain in 2029, the series blends heartfelt emotion with offbeat humor to explore the evolving relationship between humanity and artificial intelligence.

The story centers on Sue, a recently widowed woman struggling to rebuild her life after a devastating loss. Her world is unexpectedly transformed when she is paired with Linda, a socially awkward second-hand care robot whose clumsy attempts at companionship gradually develop into an unlikely yet deeply touching friendship.

As the two navigate everyday life together, their contrasting personalities create both laugh-out-loud moments and poignant reflections on grief, loneliness, and the need for human connection.

Premiering on BBC One in July 2026, Ann Droid offers a witty and thoughtful take on aging, companionship, and the growing role of artificial intelligence, balancing sharp comedy with genuine emotional depth in a story about finding comfort in the most unexpected places.

The song threading through the Ann Droid trailer is “Cotton Eye Joe,” the 1994 reinvention by Swedish collective Rednex.

Cotton Eye Joe is a traditional American folk track that dates back to the 19th century, with roots in Southern folk and bluegrass traditions.
