Hit Channel 4 show starring Derry Girls’ Nicola Coughlan to return for second series
HIT Channel 4 show starring Derry Girls’ Nicola Coughlan is set to return for a second series.
The first series was the channels most-watched new comedy launch since Derry Girls.
Big Mood which follows two friends navigating adulthood has been renewed for a second season.
Nicola Coughlan plays Maggie, a young writer who battles with bipolar disorder.
Her best friend is Eddie, played by It’s a Sin star Lydia West.
The first series from writer Camilla Whitehill was Channel 4’s most-watched new comedy launch since Derry Girls, according to the network.
Fans and critics alike loved it and it reviewed well and attracted accolades for its depiction of bipolar disorder on screen.
At the start of Season 2, it’s been a year since Maggie and Eddie last saw each other, without any contact between them.
When Eddie suddenly returns for a wedding, she isn’t alone – Maggie has competition, in the form of an infuriatingly positive spiritual healer named Whitney.
Maggie needs to work out if her special brand of chaos can find space in Eddie’s new life, or she fears she will lose her forever.
Speaking about season 2, Nicola said: “Been one of the greatest joys of my life.”
“Deeply grateful to everyone who loves our mad, funny, sad show,” she added.
Channel 4 comedy boss Charlie Perkins added: “People really took to this zeitgeisty buddy-comedy with excellent central performances from Nicola and Lydia.
“Coupled with the heart and passion of all those involved in Big Mood, we’re excited to see how Camilla captures everything that people loved about the first series and beyond in series two.”
Laurence Bowen, CEO of Dancing Ledge Productions and executive producer, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled that Big Mood has been recommissioned by the wonderful Channel 4.
“The success of series one is a testament to Camilla’s exceptional writing and the brilliant central performances from Nicola and Lydia, whose chemistry brought the perfect balance of heart, humour, energy and authenticity to the show.”
Who are the Bridgerton siblings?
THERE are eight Bridgerton siblings in total.
Here’s who they are in age – and alphabetical – order:
Anthony – the oldest Bridgerton is played by Jonathan Bailey. He was the main focus of season two and after a lot of will-they/won’t they he ended up marrying Kate Sharma.
Benedict – the second son, played by Luke Thompson, is the focus of the third book. However his romance is not the main story featured in season three of the Netflix drama, which will instead focus on his younger brother, Colin
Colin – Luke Newton plays Colin, who is a favourite with the ladies. He is also the object of desire for Penelope Featherington, who is also the mysterious Lady Whistledown. However as the season starts he is unaware of this fact, and ready to hunt down the anonymous gossip writer.
Daphne – season one introduced us to Daphne, the oldest female Bridgerton sibling. Played by Phoebe Dynevor, viewers watched her romance with Simon Bassett, the Duke of Hastings, unfold, gaining actor Regé-Jean Page many fans.
Eloise – book-loving Eloise has delighted viewers with her rebellious spirit and tomboy ways. She made her debut in society during the second season and was horrified to find that her best friend, Pen, was Lady Whistledown. Eloise is played by Claudia Jessie.
Francesca – Hannah Dodd has been brought in to play Francesca in season three, as she makes her social season debut. Francesca was played by Ruby Stokes in the first two seasons.
Gregory – Gregory is played by Will Tilston. As yet he has not played a key part in the series as he’s too young to be presented before the Queen. His story features in book eight of the series.
Hyacinth – the youngest Bridgerton sibling is played by Florence Hunt. Although younger than Gregory, Hyacinth’s story is featured in book seven.
Nicola is an Irish actress who first found fame in the comedy series Derry Girls, where she played Clare Devlin from 2018 until 2022.
She then took a starring role in Netflix drama Bridgerton – where she was famously revealed to be Lady Whistledown and found love with Colin Bridgerton.
She has also starred in the Barbie Movie and TV series Harlots.
Nicola voiced the Playroom Fairy in the movie The Velveteen Rabbit and played Queen Victoria in the TV series Dodger.
Big Mood Season One is available to stream on Channel 4.

Hollyoaks to air dark new sexual exploitation storyline as two young characters are groomed by sinister gang
Hollyoaks will air a dark storyline focusing on sexual and criminal exploitation of young people.
The new narrative for the Channel 4 soap sees Hollyoaks tackle a prevalent issue as two young characters are groomed by a criminal gang.
Best friends Frankie and Dillon will find themselves in danger when they are targeted with the offer of a lifestyle that they perceive to be glamorous.
The reality is they have been lured into world that it is difficult to escape from without intervention, where they will find themselves subject to criminal and sexual exploitation.
The upcoming storyline features character Frankie Osborne, a survivor of Sibling Sexual Abuse (SSA).
The abuse Frankie recently suffered at the hands of her twin brother JJ has inevitably had a lasting effect on the teenager and left her vulnerable to grooming.
Fellow resident teenager, Dillon, hasn’t had an easy time exploring his sexuality and has faced his fair share of hardships without the guidance of his parents.
In recent episodes the audience has observed underworld figure Rex take an interest in Dillon.
Wanting to gain Dillon’s trust and move him away from his family, Rex gifts the teenager a home, and over time, manipulation leads them to dealing drugs on behalf of Rex.
Later, for Frankie and Dillon this will lead to them being sexually exploited.
Hollyoaks Executive Producer Hannah Cheers said: “It is imperative that Hollyoaks is constantly talking to young people about safeguarding issues and ways in which abuse can infiltrate young lives.
“The audience naturally regenerates and the issues that young adults are vulnerable to are constantly evolving.
“Hollyoaks is in a unique position to shine a light on them, without lecturing, due to the way that the show tells stories.
“The research that we have, finds that the exploitation of young people is an insidious problem and growing concern for multi safeguarding agencies.”
Helen Ball CEO of Causeway said: “It has been a privilege for Causeway to have advised and supported Hollyoaks with the development of this storyline.
“It’s such a powerful way to shine a spotlight on the reality of youth exploitation in the UK, a topic that is often misunderstood.
“People can be shocked to discover how prevalent exploitation is in our communities.
“It’s happening in towns and cities up and down the UK, and it can take many different forms, with many different people affected.
“Men, women, adults and children can all find themselves trapped in exploitative situations.
“Criminal exploitation and sexual exploitation are two of the most common forms of modern slavery in the UK, and the two which this storyline will be featuring.
“It’s historically been rare for survivors of criminal and sexual exploitation to have their stories told and experiences reflected at a mainstream level, and so we’re grateful to Hollyoaks for their commitment and passion for telling this story sensitively and authentically.
“As well as raising much-needed awareness around exploitation, we hope it will build greater allyship, care, support and understanding for the brave survivors who have experienced, or are currently experiencing, these awful crimes.”
Hollyoaks is now available to stream from 7am Monday to
Wednesday on Channel 4 or watch live on E4 at 7pm.

HOLLYOAKS beauty Chelsee Healey has dropped the biggest hint yet she's been axed from the soap - yet what's happening at the Channel 4 show?

Another big name set to quit for good is popstar turned soap star Jamelia.
