Nicola Coughlan has begun filming season two of the hit Channel 4 comedy Big Mood alongside co-star Lydia West.

Channel 4 says the six-episode series from writer-creator Camilla Whitehill will premiere in 2026, with Rebecca Asher returning as director.

Teeing up what's ahead, Channel 4 said: "It's been a year since Maggie (Nicola Coughlan) and Eddie (Lydia West) last saw each other, without any contact between the best friends.

"When Eddie suddenly returns for a wedding, she isn't alone - Maggie has competition, in the form of an infuriatingly positive spiritual healer named Whitney.

"Can Maggie and her special brand of chaos find space in Eddie's new life? Or will Maggie lose Eddie forever?"

"Joining series two are Hannah Onslow (This City is Ours), Robert Lindsay (My Family), Marina Bye (We Were the Lucky Ones), Marcus Collins (Mrs Doubtfire, West End), Munroe Bergdorf (Love and Rage: Munroe Bergdorf), Kyran Thrax (RuPaul's Drag Race UK S6 winner), Kelly Campbell (Bad Sisters), Leo Wan (Bridgerton), Zachary Hart (Slow Horses), and John Locke (Vindication Swim)," said Channel 4.

"Returning cast members include Robert Gilbert (Big Boys) as Will, Eamon Farren (The Witcher) as Krent, Niamh Cusack (In the Land of Saint and Sinners) as Gillian, Amalia Vitale (Smoggie Queens) as Anya, Luke Fetherston (Picture This) as Ryan, Rebecca Lowman (Grey's Anatomy) as Vanessa, Stephen Sobal (Love Sick) as Owen, and Kate Fleetwood (Wheel of Time) as Clara."

Both Coughlan and co-star West are among the executive producers on the new season.
