Channel 4 comedy Big Boys starring Derry Girls' Dylan Llewellyn renewed for second series

Comedy Big Boys will be returning to Channel 4 with a second series, it has been confirmed. The six-part first series was released in May this year and told the story of two young men who strike up an unlikely friendship at Brent University when they meet during freshers week in 2013.

Actor Dylan Llewellyn, best known for playing James on Channel 4's Derry Girls, starred as 19-year-old Jack who headed to university still overcome with grief after losing his dad. He then finds friendship with his flatmate Danny, a mature student and typical lads' lad hiding his own struggles with mental health, played by Jon Pointing.

The first series became a hit with viewers and also featured on Celebrity Gogglebox's Pride special episode. It has now been revealed Big Boys, which is based on an autobiographical stage show by Jack Rooke, will be returning to our screens with a second instalment.
