Mr. Bigstuff Season 2: Familiar Faces and Fresh Talent
The wild ride of Mr. Bigstuff returns for its second season on Sky Comedy, and the buzz around the new cast lineup is hard to ignore. Danny Dyer and Ryan Sampson are back in action as the Campbell brothers, Lee and Glen, ready to throw themselves even deeper into family drama. Fans of the show know these brothers don’t do anything by halves—this time, they’re searching for a father everyone thought was long gone.
Joining their adventure is Harriet Webb as Kirsty, Glen's fiancée, who isn’t just keeping the peace at home—she’s juggling a turbulent professional life too. Webb, who’s known for her role in Big Boys, shows off her comic timing while steering Kirsty through some rocky waters this season. The stakes run high for Kirsty as she faces a blackmail threat linked to a mistake she’d rather forget. Suddenly, being the boss in the bedroom and the boardroom isn't as easy as she thought.
This season shakes things up with guest appearances that’ll have TV fans leaning in. Tom Hanson and Parth Thakerar, both of Brassic fame, drop in, mixing fresh energy with the regular chaos. Rula Lenska stands out as Rita in Episode 2, an eccentric figure who holds a key to the Campbell family secrets and keeps everyone guessing about the fate of Don Campbell, the elusive father.
A Closer Look at the Expanding Cast
Some of the UK’s most recognized faces are jumping in for season two. Shobna Gulati, best known for her long run on Coronation Street, and Alan Ford, whose tough-guy image from Snatch precedes him, both bring their own quirks to the unfolding mayhem. There’s also David Mumeni from Stath Lets Flats, offering another comedic twist to the evolving storylines.
Long-time viewers will spot plenty of returning names. Adrian Scarborough, seen in Gavin & Stacey, brings a steadying presence. Fatiha El-Ghorri swaps the standup stage (Taskmaster) for more scripted chaos, and Victoria Alcock (Bad Girls), Ned Dennehy (Peaky Blinders), and Clive Russell (Ripper Street) fill out a cast that thrives on quick wit and sharp character moments.
The Campbell brothers’ journey to find their father isn’t just a wild chase; it’s riddled with secrets, awkward reunions, and classic Mr. Bigstuff unpredictability. Toss in the pressures on Kirsty and new faces all with their own agendas, and the stage is set for a season that’s bound to pull you in. Plus, with Danny Dyer’s history in EastEnders and the drama-filled Rivals, plus Sampson’s memorable run in Plebs and Brassic, there’s no shortage of star power selling every twist and turn. Fans of British comedy and drama are in for a treat as returning favorites meet newcomers on a hunt that’ll shake up more than one family secret.
