Returning Cast and Creators
The series is written by and stars Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli, who will reprise their roles alongside Lenny Rush, who won a BAFTA for his portrayal of Ollie, and Dustin Demri-Burns as Dan. Filming is taking place in Bristol, Gloucestershire and the West Country.
Plot Teases and Guest Stars
The official synopsis teases: "Is Nic's confession finally out there? What exactly did Jen do to Mrs Baggot? Has Dan put a bun in the wrong oven? Did Ollie make Suzie go away? In this murky morality tale, everyone is forced to confront their messy realities once and for all." The new series will guest star comedians Joe Wilkinson, Allan Mustafa, and James Gault, with Tom Davies returning as the unhinged cab driver.
