Aisling Bea joins Romesh Ranganathan for second series of Avoidance

Aisling Bea, Colin Hoult, Romesh Ranganathan, Jessica Knappett, Mandeep Dhillon and Lisa McGrillis sit and stand around a chair in a living room, which is decked out with balloons

The first series saw Ranganathan star as an unhealthily conflict-avoidant man doing his utmost to avoid dealing with his recent break-up. Rather than telling his young son Spencer (Kieran Logendra) that his parents are splitting up, Jonathan (Ranganathan) took him to hide out with his sister and her wife.

Plot details are scarce, but the release hints at a brighter series two "about falling in love, messy reconciliation and a baby."
