Airdate: In a Man’s World

Undercover Boss meets the gender wars?

Bravo-produced series In a Man’s World sees 4 US women disguised by Hollywood special effects make-up to resemble a male and experience life as an opposite gender.

This will screen express from the US on Arena.

Arena takes a deep dive into gender bias with a bold social experiment in the new limited event series. From Viola Davis and husband Julius Tennon’s JuVee Productions and Lucky 8, the eye-opening series follows four dynamic women who embark on the journey of a lifetime as they transform into men to experience life from the opposite side. With the help of Academy Award-winning Special Effects make-up team, Lou and Dave Elsey, and skilled voice and movement coaches, each woman develops her own alter ego and spends two days living in a man’s world. After their frustration at being disregarded because of their gender, the women are looking to flip the script and experience a day without bias from the very same people who held them back in the past. From a professional pool player in a male dominated sport, to an aspiring politician looking to understand her recent city council election loss, these women seek to be judged by their talent rather than their gender and achieve the ultimate revenge when they expose their true identity.

Mondays from October 7 at 1.35pm on Arena (repeat at 8.30pm).
