Channel 4 has renewed the hit comedy ‘Big Mood‘ starring Nicola Coughlan and Lydia West for a 2nd Season on the UK broadcaster.
Written and created by Camilla Whitehill and produced by Fremantle’s Dancing Ledge Productions (The Responder, The Salisbury Poisonings), ‘Big Mood’ Season 2 will see Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton, Derry Girls) return as Maggie and Lydia West (It’s A Sin, Inside Man) as Eddie, following a hugely successful first series that was Channel 4 streaming’s highest new comedy launch since ‘Derry Girls’.
It’s been a year since Maggie and Eddie last saw each other, without any contact between the best friends. When Eddie suddenly returns for a wedding, she isn’t alone – Maggie has competition, in the form of an infuriatingly positive spiritual healer named Whitney. Can Maggie and her special brand of chaos find space in Eddie’s new life? Or will Maggie lose Eddie forever?
“I had no plan B and zero transferable skills so I am overjoyed to be bringing Big Mood back for another round,” joked Camilla Whitehill, writer and creator.” Discovering that there are actually loads of weirdos who like the same weirdo stuff as me has been a real privilege. My eternal love and gratitude go to everyone at Channel 4, Dancing Ledge and Fremantle for their fierce support and hard work. My ongoing blackmail campaign against Nicola Coughlan and Lydia West continues in earnest. They’ll never escape me.”
‘Big Mood’ is written and created by Camilla Whitehill and will be directed by Rebecca Asher who returns for this season. Lotte Beasley Mestriner also returns to executive produce season two, along with executive producers Laurence Bowen and Chris Carey for Dancing Ledge Productions.
“We’re absolutely thrilled that Big Mood has been recommissioned by the wonderful Channel 4,” said Laurence Bowen, CEO of Dancing Ledge Productions and executive producer. “The success of series one is a testament to Camilla’s exceptional writing and the brilliant central performances from Nicola and Lydia, whose chemistry brought the perfect balance of heart, humour, energy and authenticity to the show. It’s been fantastic to see how audiences have embraced the show across the world, and we’re excited to build on that in series two.”
Dancing Ledge Productions are a Fremantle company. Fremantle is handling global sales for the series. Season 1 of ‘Big Mood’ is currently available to stream on Channel 4 in the UK and on Tubi in the US and Canada.
‘Big Mood‘ Season 2 does not have an air date, but if you want to keep track of this or any other show, add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when they get a UK premiere date.
