Filming has started for series two of Channel 4 hit comedy Big Mood starring Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton, Derry Girls) and Lydia West (It’s A Sin, Inside Man).
Written and created by Camilla Whitehill and produced by Fremantle’s Dancing Ledge Productions (The Responder, The Salisbury Poisonings), the six-episode series will air on Channel 4 next year.

It’s been a year since Maggie (Nicola Coughlan) and Eddie (Lydia West) last saw each other, without any contact between the best friends. 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. Can Maggie and her special brand of chaos find space in Eddie’s new life? Or will Maggie lose Eddie forever?
