First-look images have been unveiled for the upcoming second season of Big Mood<\/a>, the Channel 4 comedy starring Nicola Coughlan and Lydia West.<\/p>\n

The series, which is written and created by Camilla Whitehill<\/a> and explores the nuances of mental health and female friendship, first premiered in March 2024 and became the network’s most-watched new comedy launch since Derry Girls.<\/p>\n

Big Mood<\/a> season 2 will pick up with Maggie (Coughlan) and Eddie (West), who haven\u2019t seen each other for a year, as Eddie returns for a wedding with a new friend in tow: an infuriatingly positive spiritual healer named Whitney (Hannah Onslow).<\/p>\n

\u201cMaggie needs to work out if her special brand of chaos can find space in Eddie\u2019s new life, or she fears she will lose her forever,\u201d the official synopsis teases.<\/p>\n

One of the new images released by Channel 4 shows Maggie and Eddie getting on like a house on fire (above), while another gives fans a first look at the tension between the trio following Whitney and Eddie\u2019s arrival (below).<\/p>\n
