‘Big Boys’ Renewed For Third & Final Season At Channel 4

Big Boys, one of Channel 4’s biggest comedies of the decade, has been renewed for a third and final season. Watch the trailer below.

The show from Jack Rooke and starring Derry Girls’ Dylan Llewellyn will see the 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 The X-Factor. 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.

Of the show concluding, Rooke said: “Ten years ago I took a rather ramshackle comedy-theatre hour about grief and friendship to a damp cave at the Edinburgh Fringe and never thought a decade later it’d be a silly, sweet lil sitcom about a lad’s lad and a dweeby gay becoming best mates. I hope it still represents those first Edinburgh shows but also the collaborative genius of our incredible cast, crew and creative team. I’ll be indebted to them always for giving me the funniest, happiest years making Big Boys 1-3.”

Big Boys from Stath Lets Flats producer Roughcut has been a huge critical and ratings hit for Channel 4, winning a BAFTA for Rooke last year and nominated for five more. Series 1 and 2 are available on Hulu in the U.S. following a recently-struck deal with distributor Fifth Season.

Big Boys is created and written by Rooke, and executive produced by Rooke, Jim Archer, Ash Atalla and Alex Smith for Roughcut TV, directed by Archer and produced by Bertie Peek. It was commissioned for Channel 4 by Charlie Perkins, Head of Comedy and Joe Hullait, Commissioning Executive for Comedy. Rooke is represented by Curtis Brown in the UK and UTA in the U.S.
