Stacey & Joe returning to BBC One for a third series

And it's their busiest chapter yet!

BBC One has confirmed that we'll be returning to Pickle Cottage this summer for a third series of Stacey & Joe. Across three episodes, we'll follow the warmth, chaos and humour of family life at Pickle Cottage, as Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash juggle their busiest chapter yet

With five children at home, a menagerie of animals and a house that’s always full, viewers are once again immersed in the couple’s relatable, hands-on approach to parenting, homemaking and life.

This time, however, that family dynamic expands beyond the cottage gates, as Joe finally takes the leap to realise a long-held dream: opening his own fishing lake and glamping site. What begins as Joe’s personal passion quickly becomes a full family endeavour, naturally drawing in Stacey’s creativity, the kids’ energy and the wider family’s support.

Joe hopes the lake can be more than just a business. Having always found fishing to be a form of therapy, he’s passionate about creating a space where young people, particularly teenagers struggling with ADHD or mental health challenges, can come and spend time by the water.

Across three episodes, we follow the highs, setbacks and humour of a family pulling together to achieve something meaningful, all leading to the grand opening of Joe’s fishing lake, where Stacey and Joe finally see if their shared dream has paid off.

Ahead of the show's return, Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash said "If you watched the first series, you'll know we’ve been talking about the lakes for ages… it feels a bit surreal to finally see it coming to life."

"With the juggle of family life thrown in, we’re learning as we go, so we’ll be just as surprised as everyone else to see how it all unfolds! A huge thank you to everyone who has watched Stacey & Joe so far. We’re so grateful and can’t wait for you to see this next series."

To which BBC Commissioning Editor, Beejal-Maya Patel, added, "I am so excited that we are back at Pickle Cottage for the third outing of the hugely popular Stacey and Joe. It’s such a treat to spend time with their family in all its chaos, joy and glory. No family is perfect but the Solomon - Swashes remind us just how much fun the juggle and balancing act can be and is all the more refreshing for it."

And Executive Producer Charlotte Brookes said "We’re absolutely delighted to be returning to Pickle Cottage this Summer. Stacey and Joe bring their unique blend of warmth and humour to everything they do, and we can’t wait to follow them as they take on Joe’s ambitious dream of creating a fishing lake together.”
