But can Maggie and her special brand of chaos find space in Eddie’s new life?
Channel 4 has today announced that their hit comedy Big Mood, written and created by Camilla Whitehill will be returning for a second series following a hugely successful first series which became Channel 4 streaming’s highest new comedy launch since Derry Girls.
Nicola Coughlan and Lydia West will both return as Maggie and Eddie. It's been a year since they last saw each other, without any contact between the best friends. When Eddie suddenly returns for a wedding, she isn’t alone, Maggie has competition, in the form of an infuriatingly positive spiritual healer named Whitney.
Can Maggie and her special brand of chaos find space in Eddie’s new life? Or will Maggie lose Eddie forever?
On returning to play Maggie in Big Mood, Nicola Coughlan said "Deeply grateful to everyone who loves our mad, funny, sad show. It’s been one of the greatest joys of my life making it, and I’m beyond delighted that we get to come back and tell the next chapter of Maggie and Eddie’s story. Rats at the ready."
To which Lydia West, who plays Eddie, added "So excited to reunite with my besties and work on series 2! I can’t wait to see the scripts and get back to the world of Eggie!"
And writer and creator, Camilla Whitehill, said "I had no plan B and zero transferable skills so I am overjoyed to be bringing Big Mood back for another round! Discovering that there are actually loads of weirdos who like the same weirdo stuff as me has been a real privilege."
"My eternal love and gratitude go to everyone at Channel 4, Dancing Ledge and Fremantle for their fierce support and hard work. My ongoing blackmail campaign against Nicola Coughlan and Lydia West continues in earnest. They’ll never escape me."
Written and created by Camilla Whitehill and made by Dancing Ledge Productions, series two of Big Mood will be directed by Rebecca Asher and executive produced by Lotte Beasley Mestriner, Laurence Bowen and Chris Carey.
On Big Mood returning, Channel 4's Head of Comedy, Charlie Perkins, said "People really took to this zeitgeisty Buddy-Comedy with excellent central performances from Nicola and Lydia. Coupled with the heart and passion of all those involved in Big Mood, we’re excited to see how Camilla captures everything that people loved about the first series and beyond in series two."
To which CEO of Dancing Ledge Productions and executive producer, Laurence Bowen, added "We’re absolutely thrilled that Big Mood has been recommissioned by the wonderful Channel 4. The success of series one is a testament to Camilla’s exceptional writing and the brilliant central performances from Nicola and Lydia, whose chemistry brought the perfect balance of heart, humour, energy and authenticity to the show. It’s been fantastic to see how audiences have embraced the show across the world, and we’re excited to build on that in series two."
