A Danny Dyer series is returning for a second series after getting mixed reactions from fans, with some calling it "ridiculously silly" and others calling it "hilarious".
Mr Bigstuff began in 2024 and follows Glen (Ryan Sampson), whose mundane life is turned upside down when his estranged brother Lee (Dyer) arrives on the doorstep of his suburban home that he shares with his fiancée Kirsty (Harriet Webb).
Season one earned Rivals star Dyer his first ever BAFTA TV nomination, and now a second series is on the way, set to premiere this July on Sky and NOW.
A synopsis for the upcoming episodes reads: "Series two picks up two weeks after the shock news that the brothers’ dad’s not actually dead, and Lee and Glen are handling it very differently.
"But, with chaos mounting and questions piling up, the brothers unite on a mission to track him down."

It continues: "Meanwhile, Kirsty’s taking charge in the bedroom and the boardroom, but one badly timed kiss – and a mysterious blackmailer – threaten to bring it all crashing down. With secrets spilling and tempers flaring, it’s only a matter of time before the family blows up – again."
First-look images have teased the guest stars for the upcoming episodes, including Coronation Street and Celebrity Big Brother icon Rula Lenska.
