“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 the someone playing tricks on her?”

Lenny Rush (“Doctor Who”) returns as Nic’s son Ollie alongside Dustin Demri-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”).

“If you thought Lenny Rush’s BAFTA-winning performance upstaged me in Season 1, wait until you see his performance completely upstage me in Season 2 where you will be left wondering whether I was even in it at all…. livid,” quipped Cooper.

Selin Hizli said: “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?” was created by Cooper and Selin Hizli and is produced by Boffola Pictures, who are minority owned by BBC Studios. The series is filmed in Bristol and the West Country.

BBC comedy director Jon Petrie commissioned the series. Pippa Brown produces while Emily McDonald directs. Executive Producers are Shane Allen, Daisy May Cooper, Selin Hizli and Jack Thorne.

The commissioning editor for the BBC is head of comedy Tanya Qureshi.

Season 2 will return in 2025. U.K. audiences will be able to watch it on the BBC. Australian and New Zealand audiences can watch it on SBS and TVNZ respectively.

Season 1 was available in the U.S. on Hulu. BBC Studios are selling the series internationally.
