The popular Channel 4 drama Big Mood is returning for a second season on April 16th. Starring Nicola Coughlan, known for Bridgerton, and Lydia West from It’s a Sin, the new season will include six episodes.
Maggie and Eddie, who were once best friends, haven’t spoken in a year.
Eddie’s unexpected return to town for a wedding isn’t as simple as it seems – he’s brought a new girlfriend, Whitney, a relentlessly cheerful spiritual healer. Maggie now has to compete for Eddie’s attention, and wonders if her unpredictable nature will fit into his new life. Will she be able to win him back, or will she lose Eddie for good?
Several original cast members are returning for the new season, including Robert Gilbert, Niamh Cusack, and Kate Fleetwood, alongside Coughlan and West. Eamon Farren, Amalia Vitale, Luke Fetherston, Rebecca Lowman, and Stephen Sobal will also be back in their previous roles.
Season two will also feature new cast members including Rupert Everett, Hannah Onslow, Robert Lindsay, Marina Bye, Marcus Collins, Munroe Bergdorf, Kyran Thrax, Lois Chimimba, Kelly Campbell, Leo Wan, Zachary Hart, and John Locke.
What to Read Next
The series Big Mood was a hit with audiences and critics when it premiered in March 2024. Created and written by Camilla Whitehill, it tells the story of a complicated friendship between Maggie, who lives with bipolar disorder, and her friend Eddie.
The show Big Mood is getting a lot of positive attention for its realistic and sensitive depiction of mental health, and currently has a 73% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
I was so glad to see The Times really get what Camilla Whitehead was going for with the first season! They pointed out something I totally felt while watching – the script is full of these little, brilliant moments. Episode six, in particular, really hit home for me. It wasn’t just about the mood swings, but how the illness actually changes how someone experiences time, and how that can look like they’re being self-centered when they’re really not.
As others have noted, Decider enthusiastically praised Big Mood, highlighting the strong connection between Coughlan and West, its witty take on pop culture and social media, and its sensitive portrayal of mental health. They called it a show everyone should watch.
Our five-star review praised the series as a fantastic dark comedy, describing it as incredibly relatable, witty, and surprisingly funny – the kind of show that makes you burst out laughing.
Season two of Big Mood will premiere on Channel 4 on 16 April.
