FIRST LOOK Daddy Issues 2

Gemma and Malcolm are back! And this time, there's also a baby...

BBC Three has today released a number of first look images for the second series hit comedy Daddy Issues, starring Aimee Lou Wood and David Morrissey. And this time, Gemma and Malcolm are grappling with the new addition to the family, Gemma’s daughter, baby Sadie.

Set in Stockport, the new series will see Gemma coming to terms with life as a mum while Malcolm is just thrilled to be a grandad.  But wherever Malcolm is, Derek, played by David Fynn, is never too far behind.

Good job Gemma can turn to best friend Cherry, played by Taj Atwal, for advice as well as sister Catherine, played by Sharon Rooney, and boss Rita, played by Sarah Hadland.

However, a surprise visitor forces Malcolm to confront his past, and Gemma to face her future.

From dating disasters and failed romances through to toxic friendships and messy family dynamics, Daddy Issues is a big-hearted story about a father and daughter, and the reality of facing up to parenthood, at any stage of life.

With an average 28-day audience of 1.6m viewers, series one of Daddy Issues was the BBC Three's biggest comedy since the channel's relaunch in February 2022.

Created and written by Danielle Ward, Daddy Issues is made by Fudge Park Productions, produced by Lynn Roberts, directed by Damon Beesley and Danielle Ward and executive produced by Phil Gilbert for Fudge Park Productions, alongside Aimee Lou Wood, David Morrissey, Danielle Ward and Damon Beesley.

Daddy Issues returns later this year on BBC Three
