Series 2 (2013)

After Series 1, the show was dropped by Channel 4. However, a couple of years later it made a surprise return as its American broadcaster ordered a second run. Series 2 continues to follow the adventures of Todd as he works on marketing Thunder Muscle.

Series 3 (2016)

After the apocalyptic ending of Series 2, Series 3 is presented as 'dream within a dream extension' of the show - there are some senses of déjà vu as we watch a slightly different of Todd as he tries to launch the energy drink Lightning Strike. This series was shown on ICF in the USA across two weeks in January 2016. UK viewers got to see the show on Fox that April.
