'My favourite job in the world' - Aimee Lou Wood and David Morrissey return for Daddy Issues series 2
Daddy Issues returns to the BBC very soon.
The release date for series two of Daddy Issues has been confirmed, with star Aimee Lou Wood describing the show as “my favourite job in the world”.
The first series bagged the title of Best New TV Sitcom, after officially launching in August 2024, with Aimee Lou Wood also nominated for a Royal Television Society award.
Aimee starred as Gemma, a young woman who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant, while Liverpool’s David Morrissey played her rather immature father, Malcolm.
Ending up in a flat-share in Stockport together, season one saw the pair navigate the tricky waters ahead and create a strong bond - with many laughs along the way.
The biggest comedy series for BBC Three since the channel’s relaunch, Daddy Issues was quickly renewed for a second series, with filming beginning at the start of this year.
Season one ended with Gemma giving birth to her daughter, Sadie, with the new series set to see her coming to terms with life as a mum while Malcolm is just thrilled to be a grandad. The series will once again feature Derek (David Fynn), Cherry (Taj Atwal) and Catherine (Sharon Rooney).
Speaking about working on the new series, Aimee said: “It's so nice being back with this cast, it’s my favourite job in the world. Genuinely, it's the job where I feel energized when we wrap, and better than I did when I started it and I’m in my hometown too.
“Every single person who works on the show even if they are only working for a day leave saying that's my favourite job.”
David Morrissey shared similar sentiments, commenting: “I can honestly say I love working on Daddy Issues. I love working with Aimee and David Fynn, who plays my best mate Derek, we all get on really well. It's a wonderful cast, we've had a real, real laugh.
“We've been joined by a few new actors this year, but the nucleus of the cast is all the same. And what's brilliant is, so is the crew. It's predominantly the same crew as we had last time. It does feel like a real family spirit.”
Daddy Issues series 2 will be available from Friday, November 21, on BBC One, BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.
