Big Boys confirms final season

UK queer comedy will end at three seasons.

UK queer comedy Big Boys has announced its third and final season.

The series stars Dylan Llewellyn and Jon Pointing as first-year university students who live together, set in 2013, told from the point of view of Llewellyn’s character Jack—a semi-fictionalised version of Rooke, who narrates the series—as he recovers from his father’s death and explores his sexuality for the first time.

The comedy also features, Jon Pointing, Camille Coduri, Katy Wix, Izuka Hoyle, Olisa Odele, Harriet Webb, Annette Badland and Jack Rooke.

Writer and creator, Jack Rooke, said: “Ten years ago I took a rather ramshackle comedy-theatre hour about grief and friendship to a damp cave at the Edinburgh Fringe and never thought a decade later it’d be a silly, sweet lil sitcom about a lad’s lad and a dweeby gay becoming best mates. My therapist (a close lesbian friend) suggested that Big Boys is subconsciously about me not being able to say a proper goodbye to certain people or periods of my life, and so to give this show a final send-off is a huge honour. I’ve known the ending since the pilot, and I hope it still represents those first Edinburgh shows but also the collaborative genius of our incredible cast, crew and creative team. I’ll be indebted to them always for giving me the funniest, happiest years making Big Boys 1-3. Thank you!”

Series three will see the gang enter their final year at Brent Uni, Peggy and Shannon embark on new romances and never-ending nappy changes, whilst Jack and Danny’s friendship is tested to its limits as they realise proper adult life is coming.

Big Boys screens in Australia on ABC Entertains. A new date is yet to be announced.

    1. Agree – it was always clearly a three act play so glad C4 have seen it through even though it’s never got the ratings it deserves, despite the critical acclaim
