Am I Being Unreasonable? gets second series
- Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli's Am I Being Unreasonable? has been given a second series
- The comedy thriller's first series concluded on BBC One tonight, Friday 28th October
- Further details about Series 2 have yet to be confirmed
The hit comedy thriller Am I Being Unreasonable? will return to BBC One for a second series.
Written by and starring Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli, the comedy thriller took viewers on a series of twists as its various storylines played out, culminating in audiences discovering the truth of what really happened between Nic (Cooper) and former boyfriend Alex (David Flynn).
Filmed in Bristol and around the West Country, Series 1 sees Nic grieving a loss she couldn't share with anyone. Only her son Ollie (Lenny Rush), who she adores kept her going. When Jen (Hizli) arrived in town with her son Harry (Ruben Catt), she found a kindred spirit and soon Nic's dark secret started to bubble over.
Produced by Boffola Pictures and Lookout Point, the six episode first series was delayed by the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and eventually debuted on 23rd September 2022, concluding tonight (28th October).
Cooper and Hizli say: "When we first started writing this show we never dreamed it would get commissioned, let alone get another series. We're so grateful to everyone who has watched it and we promise we will work our hardest to make the second series even better than the first...It's gonna hit you with all the grace and decorum of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on."
Jon Petrie, Director of BBC Comedy, said "We had so many questions after binging the first series that we were selfishly desperate to have more Am I Being Unreasonable? in our lives. Luckily, we know that our viewers feel the same way. Thank you to Daisy May Cooper, Selin Hizli, [executive producer] Jack Thorne and everyone at Boffola for creating such a funny, thrilling, genre-bending show. We can't wait to see what happens next."
Pippa Brown, Creative Director for Lookout Point, said "What a privilege to be able to work with Daisy and Selin and the hugely talented team on Am I Being Unreasonable? again. It's a giddy mix of joy and fear knowing where their comedically genius and genuinely terrifying brains will take Nic and Jen and the cast for a second series. We're all very proud and happy to get going, thank you BBC."
Jonathan Blyth, Commercial & Partnerships Director for Comedy at BBC Studios, who are selling the programme and its format overseas, adds: "We are thrilled about the news of a second series. Daisy, Selin & Boffola have produced one of the most talked about shows of the year. We're excited to be working with the BBC and our key partners to bring this terrific series to audiences around the world and establish it as a major global comedy brand."
The complete first series is currently available to view on BBC iPlayer.
