The story will pick up where the last left off, after Gemma (Aimee Lou Wood) discovered she was pregnant after a random hook-up. With her sister Catherine (Sharon Rooney) in prison and her mum Davina travelling around the world to find herself, Gemma had no choice but to turn to her hapless father Malcolm (David Morrissey) for support. The last series ended with Gemma giving birth to baby Sadie.
It was commissioned by Jon Petrie, Director of Comedy Commissioning at the BBC and Fiona Campbell, Controller, Youth Audience, BBC iPlayer and BBC Three.
Further casting will be announced shortly.
