Aimee Lou Wood expressed her excitement, saying: "I'm so happy to be back with David and the brilliant Daddy Issues cast for one final time. Gemma and Malcolm are one of the funniest and sweetest comedy double acts on TV, and I've loved being a part of it."
David Morrissey added: "I love doing Daddy Issues so much, such a great cast and crew! So I'm delighted to be coming back to have more adventures with Gemma, Malcolm and the gang!"
Plot Details for the Final Season
The hit comedy, set in Stockport, first premiered in 2024.

The official synopsis for the final series reveals: "The new series sees Gemma 18 months on from where we left her in series two, and life has settled into a familiar rhythm. Her baby, Sadie, is now in nursery, Gemma's been promoted at the salon, and Malcolm has just ordered a fancy new washing machine to optimise the laundry."
