Channel 4 has commissioned a third series of Jack Rooke's coming-of-age comedy Big Boys.
The show - written and created by Rooke, who also provides the voiceover - stars Dylan Llewellyn as Jack, a newly-out awkward boy who starts at university and forms a close friendship with the outwardly-laddy Danny, played by Jon Pointing.
A synopsis for the third series confirms that all of the cast will be back, teasing: "Our gang enter their final year at Brent Uni, with all the ups and downs of dissertations, deadlines, dating and the devastating departure of Louis Walsh from X-Factor (for Jack anyway!)
"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. Will the boys still choose each other like before, or will this be the end of the road?"
Of the recommission, Rooke said: "It's been 10 years since I actually graduated Uni and now yet again I'm returning to my campus with a clapperboard & film crew to recreate the embarrassing endeavours of my youth. It is just a dream job!
"The response to series 2 has been beautiful and we're so grateful this show continues to connect with and get discovered by so many weird and wonderful viewers. Big Boys is the closest I'll ever feel to being in a girl band and we're all desperate to come back like a pack of rabid dogs and put on a sexy, cringey, big funny show for you all!"
Charlie Perkins, C4's head of comedy, added: "Big Boys is a snowball of a comedy show for us; with series 2 growing hugely from the already successful and critically lauded series 1. It seems to connect with everyone - from the young to the old, from the comedy aficionados to hun-culture huns.
"We're thrilled to be back with Jack and the Roughcut team again and excited for people to see what's next for the show's motley crew."
A transmission date for the new series has yet to be confirmed although is likely to be at some point in early 2025. body check tags ::
