Leeds comedy Ladhood set for a second series on BBC

Leeds very own Inbetweeners-style sitcom Ladhood is returning for a second series.

Garforth-born BAFTA-nominated comedian Liam Williams takes the lead in the coming-of-age TV show.

Adapted from his original BBC Radio 4 series, Ladhood flips between two timelines as Liam explores the roots of modern-day masculinity, by delving into the memories of his own misspent adolescence during the early noughties in Garforth.

Ladhood launched in December 2019 on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer. It then earned a slot on BBC One in January this year.

Williams said: "I'm excited and honoured to have another chance to work with a tremendously talented cast and crew in giving my own grubby memories far more gravitas than they deserve."

Shane Allen, BBC controller of comedy commissioning, said: “Ladhood has a terrific concept which audiences have found really engaging.

"Liam’s deft writing manages to both excoriate and celebrate the trials and tribulations of those formative late teen years as he traces back the roots of the person he then became in adulthood. With a superb cast and a soundtrack to boot, this keeps the BBC Three comedy flame burning brighter than ever.”

You can still watch the first series of Ladhood on iPlayer.

The upcoming series will feature six episodes and we'll bring you more on it when we have further details.
