Aimee Lou Wood and David Morrissey\u2019s hit sitcom Daddy Issues<\/a> has officially been renewed for a third season – but it will mark the show\u2019s last.<\/p>\n

The BBC comedy<\/a>, which focuses on Stockport-based Gemma (Wood) as she comes to terms with life as a mum, and also navigates a relationship with her hapless dad, Malcolm (Morrissey<\/a>), will be back for a third and final series on BBC iPlayer and BBC Three. A release date is yet to be announced.<\/p>\n

Season 3 is set to pick up 18 months from where we left off at the end of season 2, with baby Sadie now in nursery and Gemma promoted at the salon. Malcolm, meanwhile, has just ordered a fancy new washing machine to optimise the laundry.<\/p>\n

With things on an even keel for the duo, Gemma decides to dip her toes into dating, but a romantic encounter soon creates a whole heap of problems and there\u2019s only one person Gemma can turn to – her dad.<\/p>\n

Wood said of the renewal in a statement: “I’m so happy to be back with David and the brilliant Daddy Issues cast for one final time. Gemma and Malcolm are one of the funniest and sweetest comedy double acts on TV, and I’ve loved being a part of it.”<\/p>\n

Morrissey added: “I love doing Daddy Issues so much, such a great cast and crew! So I\u2019m delighted to be coming back to have more adventures with Gemma, Malcolm and the gang!”<\/p>\n

Series writer and creator Danielle Ward added: “I’m thrilled we’re getting to make a third and final series of Daddy Issues. The Moscrip\u2019s have a special part in my heart and I’ll be forever grateful to Aimee and David for bringing them to life in such a brilliantly funny way.”<\/p>\n
