I Hate Suzie Too star Omari Douglas has opened up about the possibility of a third series of the critically-acclaimed show.
I Hate Suzie, starring Billie Piper, first premiered in 2020 and followed famed actress Suzie dealing with a gross violation of privacy when compromising photos hacked from her phone were released publicly, throwing her marriage and career into chaos.
The show – co-created and executive produced by Piper with Lucy Prebble – returned this month for a second series in the form of a three-part Christmas special.

It's A Sin star Douglas is one of the new cast members in series 2, playing Suzie's new PR Holland, who seeks to help her rebuild her reputation. Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, he's opened up about whether he'd like to be invited back if a third series gets the go-ahead.
"Oh I'd love to, I'd love to... I loved it so much," he told us. "I guess no-one really knows at the moment whether Billie and Lucy just wanted to tell this part of the story and then that's it. I don't know whether they also wanted to carry on telling [Suzie]'s story.
What to Read Next
"So if it does [come back] then I think that's amazing, but if it doesn't I also think that that's great too because I feel like, in each step that they've taken so far, they've said something timely and that feels present and important, so it doesn't feel like this has to be a continuation onto something else but equally it could."
I Hate Suzie Too picks up after Suzie lost everything at the end of the first series. As a result, she's now involved in a custody battle for her son Frank (Matthew Jordan-Caws) with her ex-husband Cob (Sex Education's Daniel Ings).
Omari went on to share how grateful he feels to be a part of a series that allows a female lead to be an anti-hero, and make mistakes.
"I think that's what fascinated me about the show in the first place, the fact that I guess Billie and the way that she performs is so fearless and that it's almost like... it's like her performance comes from a place of really wanting to sort of challenge how women are perceived on screen," he explained.
"The way that the role is written, the way that she performs, they lean into that complex, messy stuff.
"I love seeing that stuff and so to be part of that ensemble, in picking up where they left off, just was a privilege, truly truly. I really admire Billie and Lucy."
I Hate Suzie Too airs on Sky and NOW.
