Series one of the comedy saw 23-year-old Gemma (Wood) living life to the extreme… until joining the mile high club brought her back down to earth.

Pregnant by a stranger and not wanting to be alone, Gemma decided to move back to Stockport with her hopeless father, Malcolm (Morrissey). She doesn't know how to be a parent, but he doesn’t know how to do basic household tasks. Together they are the perfect fit to struggle through this new era of life together.

In the last moments of series one, Gemma’s water broke and she was rushed to hospital to welcome baby Sadie, with her dad not far behind her.

Jon Petrie, Director of BBC Comedy, says “we’re delighted to play midwife to a second series of Daddy Issues. Danielle Ward’s razor sharp scripts and the dream pairing of Aimee Lou Wood and David Morrissey have struck a chord with viewers and we can’t wait to see Gemma and Malcolm take the first steps on their parenting/grand-parenting journey.”

Lou Wood says “Daddy Issues is the most fun I’ve ever had on a job and I can’t wait to do it again! I’m so excited to see what Danielle has cooking for Malcolm, Gemma, Sadie and the gang. I just know it’s going to be hilarious and heart melting.”

Morrissey says “I’m delighted to be doing another series of Daddy Issues. Working with Aimee was a dream, and Danielle’s writing is so funny and heartwarming! Can’t wait!"
