Sky Comedy will continue to host Glen and Lee’s raucous escapades! The Cinemaholic can reveal that the network has renewed ‘Mr Bigstuff’ for its second season. The sophomore installment’s filming will start in October in London and Essex, England. Ryan Sampson, who created the show, will remain the writer, with Matt Lipsey returning to helm the upcoming episodes.
The renewal is not surprising, considering Danny Dyer’s wish to make multiple seasons of the comedy series. “We are plugging the life out of this show because we feel that it is brilliant and that there are so many places we can go with it. I think it is set up perfectly for a second season and potentially third and fourth seasons. I don’t want to sound greedy, but if Ryan’s brain can hack it, we can go anywhere we want with it,” the lead actor told Cinema Express.
As the first season concludes, Glen’s new role as acting manager at World of Carpets brings challenges, including friction with colleagues and Lee’s destructive behavior. The latter’s attempt to help Glen at a fight club ends badly, and the salesman’s promotion faces setbacks. The tension heightens as Lee’s past catches up with him, leading to confrontations at Glen’s workplace and complications with Kirsty, whose own issues with shoplifting come to light. Lee’s attempts to escape his troubles are thwarted by Kirsty’s mother, Sue, making him reconsider his plans.
In the first installment’s finale, Glen and Kirsty discover that their wedding fund has been stolen, and they confront the dangers Lee has been hiding. They come face-to-face with Lee’s pursuers and learn that the latter’s situation is even more complicated than they realized.
In the second season of ‘Mr Bigstuff,’ viewers can expect the drama to escalate as Glen and Lee’s tumultuous relationship unravels. The salesman, reeling from the consequences of his brother’s past actions, will face new challenges in his quest for suburban stability and career advancement. The tension between him and his fiancée, Kirsty, will likely intensify, particularly as they deal with the fallout from Lee’s unresolved issues and the threat posed by his dangerous past. Lee’s attempts to escape his troubles will probably lead to further complications and confrontations, drawing in other characters like Ian and Aysha.
Danny Dyer and Ryan Sampson are almost guaranteed to return as Lee and Glen in the second installment. Harriet Webb is also likely to feature as Kirsty, possibly joined by Adrian Scarborough as Ian, Fatiha El-Ghorri as Aysha, and Victoria Alcock as Sue.
The first season of the show was also filmed in London and Essex. Netflix’s ‘The Gentlemen‘ is another similarly chaotic narrative that employs London as its background, whereas ‘The Crown‘ is a high-profile production that was previously shot in Essex.
