G’wed season 2 cast – and where you’ve seen them before ...Middle East

Term is about to restart for the cast of G’wed as a second season of the sitcom comes to our screens.

Year 11 of the Liverpool-based high school are returning to class but also to their wayward ways.

The first episode see some of them out on the town partying hard with the help of the late drag artist The Vivienne, who makes a cameo appearance as a nightclub owner impressed by Ted’s (Dominic Murphy) comedic talent.

Nana Hughes, ITV’s head of comedy said: “It is great to see that G’wed has resonated with our audiences across ITVX, ITV1 and ITV2!

“Danny Kenny’s writing had us crying with laughter one second, crying real tears the next and then back to laughter.”

Many of the original main cast are back for a second series and fans of the shown will be pleased to learn a third series is also in the pipeline.

Writer Danny Kenny said: “It’s amazing and exciting that we get to do this again and I can’t wait for series 2 and 3 next year.”

G’wed (a Scouse abbreviation for “go ahead” or “yeah”) is a sitcom about a group of Liverpudlian teenagers growing up and getting to grips with the realities of life from relationships and sex to class division and race.

It’s set in a fictional secondary school in a working class area of the city.

Season one saw charming chancer Reece (Dylan Thomas-Smith) take newcomer Christopher (Jake Kenny-Byrne) under his wing, bridging the class divide.

A social media faux-pas put the school play at risk and there was a first encounter with the trauma of grief.

Season two promises more of the complications of everyday life for teenagers, exploring themes such as consent, age gap relationships and the acceptable way to make money while still at school.

All of it done with a large dose of Scouse humour.
