BAFTA nominated comedian Liam Williams returns with his coming-of-age comedy Ladhood Season 2. The first series centres on his modern-day life, full of complications and dread as he repeatedly disappoints his girlfriend, Jess (Lily Frazer) with his behaviour. Liam looks back on his adolescence during the noughties to try and find answers to his current toxic attitude. The series is a funny and candid take of how lads become men and also delves into the roots of present day masculinity.
As Liam reflected on the past, we also got to know his friend group, aka the ‘lads.’ Including Craggy (Shaun Thomas), Ralph (Sam Bottomley), and Addy (Aqib Khan), with Young Liam played by Oscar Kennedy. In this series, the lads will be returning with their usual shenanigans as they navigate through the beginning of adulthood in suburban Leeds.
Following the same premise, this series will show Liam’s current life recently heartbroken from the breakup with Jess.
Commissioning editor Gregor Sharp said: "Liam is an exceptional talent and in Ladhood he's crafted a series that's an ingenious combination of both personal reflection on his own Yorkshire youth and an exploration of those universal rites of passage that everyone has to navigate.
With the brilliant cast from the first series returning we can't wait to see how the next chapter of the story unfolds."
