Daisy May Cooper brings us a new slice of dysfunctional family life with the second series of Am I Being Unreasonable?
The Royal Television Society award-winning twisted black comedy thriller was a smash hit when it first aired on BBC One in 2022, amassing 3.2 million viewers in its first episode.
But fans have had to wait three years for a follow-up.
Cooper, who created the show, said: “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.”
Cooper also stars in the series as Nic, a mother trapped in a depressing marriage with only her son Ollie (Lenny Rush) to keep her spirits up.
Series two takes off where the last ended with Nic mid-panic attack.
She has been kicked out of the family home and reduced to sharing a caravan with her not-so-trustworthy best friend Jen.
Meanwhile 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 thinks she is experiencing hallucinations. But is someone playing tricks on her?
Guest stars this series include Cooper’s brother and This Country co-star Charlie Cooper, American stand-up comedian and actor Chelsea Peretti and British rapper and poet Kojey Radical.

Speaking about her return to the role, she said: “It was sort of a bit mad, because since we filmed the last series and this series, I’ve had my lips done, and lost about 10 stone, so in the flashbacks, we were just killing ourselves laughing.
“Because the two versions of me don’t look like the same people!”
