The brothers are back: First look revealed as Danny Dyer and Ryan Sampson return for new season of BAFTA-nominated Sky Original comedy Mr Bigstuff
Expect even more chaos this July with Harriet Webb leading the returning cast, plus cameos from Rula Lenska, Linda Henry and Shaun Williamson
BAFTA-nominated Danny Dyer (Rivals), Brassic favourite and series creator Ryan Sampson (Plebs), and Big Boys star Harriet Webb (I May Destroy You) return in series two of Mr Bigstuff, premiering this July on Sky and NOW. Series one earned Dyer his first-ever BAFTA TV nomination for his performance as Lee Campbell, the estranged brother of Glen (played by Sampson). Set in suburban Essex, the series was a huge hit with audiences, becoming Sky Max’s highest-rated new original comedy in three years.
Series two picks up two weeks after the shock news that the brothers’ dad’s not actually dead, and Lee and Glen are handling it very differently. But, with chaos mounting and questions piling up, the brothers unite on a mission to track him down. Meanwhile, Kirsty’s taking charge in the bedroom and the boardroom, but one badly timed kiss—and a mysterious blackmailer—threaten to bring it all crashing down. With secrets spilling and tempers flaring, it’s only a matter of time before the family blows up—again.
The brothers aren’t the only ones bringing chaos – first-look images tease guest stars including:
Rula Lenska as Rita: Guest-starring in episode two, Rula Lenska—renowned for her roles in Coronation Street and her memorable appearance on Celebrity Big Brother—delivers high comedy as Rita, an eccentric and flirtatious woman the brothers believe is connected to their missing dad, Don Campbell.
Linda Henry as Pam: Known for her portrayal of Shirley Carter in EastEnders, Linda Henry reunites with Dyer to play Pam, a no-nonsense, hands-on mechanic at the family haulage firm.
Shaun Williamson as an angry clown: The EastEnders and Extras favourite appears in episode five in a whole new light, playing a furious children’s entertainer who finds himself at the centre of another brotherly showdown.
Also joining series two are Ryan Sampson’s Brassic co-stars Tom Hanson and Parth Thakerar, as well as Shobna Gulati (Coronation Street) David Mumeni (Stath Lets Flats) and Alan Ford (Snatch). Returning cast include Adrian Scarborough (Gavin & Stacey), Fatiha El-Ghorri (Taskmaster), Victoria Alcock (Bad Girls), Ned Dennehy (Peaky Blinders) and Clive Russell (Ripper Street)
Mr Bigstuff is created and authored by Ryan Sampson. The series' Executive Producers are Ryan Sampson and Matt Lipsey, Anil Gupta for Sky Studios, and Tom Miller and Sam Myer for Water & Power Productions. Emily Allen is the Commissioning Editor from Sky Studios, and Hayley Sterling is producer.
The new series of Mr Bigstuff starts this July on Sky and NOW
