www.whattowatch.comHere’s the latest on Smoggie Queens based on recent reporting:
- Smoggie Queens has been renewed for a second series by BBC, with production announcements in 2025 and communications indicating a return to BBC Three/iPlayer after the initial 2024 run. This suggests new episodes will continue the Middlesbrough-set LGBTQ+ comedy with the same core team and cast returning roles.
- Coverage highlights that the second season will bring more “mad antics and chaotic energy” and explore new and rekindled relationships among the central group, while continuing to celebrate Northeastern community resilience.
- Additional reports and profiles in 2025 note the show’s reception as heartfelt and camp, contributing to its renewal and continued visibility on BBC platforms (BBC Three/iPlayer, with possible later linear airings).
- Cast and creative leadership remain consistent, with Phil Dunning continuing as writer/star and the ensemble including Mark Benton, Alexandra Mardell, Patsy Lowe, and Elijah Young in key roles for the new season.
