DADDY ISSUES: TRAILER RELEASED FOR SECOND SERIES OF BBC COMEDY STARRING AIMEE LOU WOOD AND DAVID MORRISSEY

Aimee Lou Wood and David Morrissey are back as Daddy Issues returns to BBC iPlayer, BBC One and BBC Three later this year and as these exclusive pictures show, they are grappling with the new addition to the family, Gemma’s daughter, baby Sadie.

Set in Stockport the new series will see Gemma (Aimee Lou Wood) coming to terms with life as a mum while Malcolm (David Morrissey) is just thrilled to be a grandad. But wherever Malcolm is, Derek (David Fynn) is never too far behind.

Good job Gemma can turn to best friend Cherry (Taj Atwal) for advice as well as sister Catherine (Sharon Rooney) and boss Rita (Sarah Hadland).  However, a surprise visitor forces Malcolm to confront his past, and Gemma to face her future.

Jon Petrie, Director of BBC Comedy says “We’re delighted to play midwife to a second series of Daddy Issues. Danielle Ward’s razor sharp scripts and the dream pairing of Aimee Lou Wood and David Morrissey have struck a chord with viewers and we can’t wait to see Gemma and Malcolm take the first steps on their parenting/grand-parenting journey.”

Aimee Lou Wood says “Daddy Issues is the most fun I’ve ever had on a job and I can’t wait to do it again! I’m so excited to see what Danielle has cooking for Malcolm, Gemma, Sadie and the gang. I just know it’s going to be hilarious and heart melting.”

David Morrissey says “I’m delighted to be doing another series of Daddy Issues. Working with Aimee was a dream, and Danielle’s writing is so funny and heartwarming! Can’t wait!" 

Daddy Issues (6x30’) is a Fudge Park production for BBC Three and iPlayer.
