The critically acclaimed BBC comedy Daddy Issues is officially making its welcome return to our screens. Fans can rejoice as the heartwarming and hilarious series about a reunited father and daughter is back for a highly anticipated second season.
What's New in Season Two?
Picking up after the dramatic birth of Gemma's daughter, Sadie, the new season delves into the challenges of new motherhood and grandparenthood. Aimee Lou Wood and David Morrissey reprise their leading roles as Gemma and her father, Malcolm.
Speaking about the new storyline, Aimee Lou Wood revealed that while the birth of Sadie brought Gemma and Malcolm closer, a new obstacle emerges. "At the start of the new series Gemma and Malcolm are slightly disconnected thanks to Gemma’s mum Davina," she explained. "She’s come back and pushed Malcolm out, so he’s back living at Derek’s whilst Gemma is adjusting to her new life as a mum."
Full Cast and Filming Locations
The entire beloved cast is returning for this new chapter. This includes Sharon Rooney as Catherine, Taj Atwal as Cherry, David Fynn as Derek, and Sarah Hadland as Rita. They are joined by Jill Halfpenny, who plays the returning mother, Davina.
The show remains firmly rooted in its Stockport setting, but the cast also ventured to Wales for some memorable scenes. Wood teased a particularly amusing caravan trip to Rhyl, which was far from the relaxing spa holiday Gemma had envisioned.
How and When to Watch
Mark your calendars: Daddy Issues series 2 will start on BBC One and BBC Three at 9:35pm on Friday, November 21. For those who prefer to binge-watch, the entire series will be available to stream on BBC iPlayer from the same date.
The new season consists of six episodes, promising even more laughter and heartfelt moments. The cast has confidently stated that this season is "even funnier" than the first, setting high expectations for viewers. A surprise visitor will force Malcolm to confront his past and Gemma to face her future, ensuring compelling viewing.
