AM I BEING UNREASONABLE?: FIRST LOOK AND CASTING CONFIRMED FOR SECOND SERIES OF BBC COMEDY

RTS and BAFTA-winning Am I Being Unreasonable? is set to return for a second series on BBC One and iPlayer with a stellar line-up of guest stars.



Including American stand-up and actor Chelsea Peretti (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Tom Davis (Wonka, King Gary), Denise Black (Queer as Folk), Jamali Maddix (Never Mind the Buzzcocks), British rapper and poet Kojey Radical and last but by no means least, Charlie Cooper, in the first onscreen reunion with Daisy May Cooper since their BAFTA-winning This Country.



Series two, which will air next year, will begin where series one left off, mid panic attack. Has Nic got away with murder? Quite possibly. Has she raised her son Ollie to follow in her murky footsteps? Kicked out of the family home for brotherly love – loving the wrong brother – Nic is reduced to sharing a caravan with her not so trustworthy best friend Jen.




Nic’s Husband Dan has taken up roller-blading to channel his mid-life crisis. Shunned at the school gates and cast as the witch at the school re-enactment, Nic is experiencing hallucinations. Or is someone playing tricks on her?


Lenny Rush (Doctor Who, Dodger), who won a BAFTA for best male comedy performance for his role as Nic’s son Ollie as well as two Royal Television Society Awards, returns for the new series.



Other stars reprising their roles include Dustin Demri-Burns (Cardinal Burns, Slow Horses), David Fynn (Daddy Issues), Juliet Cowan (Back to Life), Phil Dunning (Smoggie Queens), Georgie Glenn (Call the Midwife), Beatie Edney (Poldark), Amanda Wilkin (The Split), Helen Ann Bauer (Live at the Apollo), Marek Larwood (We Are Klang) and Karla Crome (Under the Dome). It is filmed in Bristol and the West Country.



Daisy May Cooper says: “If you thought Lenny Rush's BAFTA-winning performance upstaged me in series one, wait until you see his performance completely upstage me in series two where you will be left wondering whether I was even in it at all.... livid.”



Selin Hizli says: "God bless the BBC and everyone involved for letting us have another twisted turn at this sometimes dark, sometimes funny and always mad story. It’s been a joy and a privilege to get back into the world of AIBU and we hope everyone loves watching it as much as we’ve loved making it."


Am I Being Unreasonable? (6 x 30) is a Boffola Pictures production for BBC One and iPlayer.
