Channel 4 comedy Big Boys stars Derry Girls actor Dylan Llewellyn as 19-year-old Jack, who goes on a journey of self-discovery when he enrols in the local uni.
The series was created and written by comedian Jack Rooke and was adapted from his live comedy shows Good Grief, Happy Hour and Love Letters.
With Big Boys' six episode first series just finishing airing on Channel 4, Rooke spoke exclusively to Digital Spy about the possibility of a second season.
"I would love to write more. I'm also immensely proud and happy with where it ends," Rooke said.
"And if it is just a one-series thing, then I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to tell that story, and to have been able to have done it with Channel 4, who I think have the best history of backing LGBTQ+ shows, and mental health narratives, and really getting behind the complexities and stuff that other channels just would not commission.
"I'd love to work with the cast again, and I'd love to work with the channel again. I still feel like there's more in it.
What to Read Next
"I also would love to write something soon that wasn't about grief, really," he continued. "Because I feel like the last eight years of my career have been making various different projects about that. I'd love to be writing other sitcoms and silly stuff.
"But who knows? Watch this space."

When asked what happened to Jack's straight best friend Danny next after the end of series one, Rooke left things open-ended.
"I'll tell you what. I also don't know," he said. "We'll all figure it out together, viewer and writer.
"And actually, that, for me, is part of the point, really, with characters like that, with people like that in real life. You don't know how it's going to end up.
"So I want everyone to not know with me, if that makes sense?"
Big Boys is available to watch now on All 4.
