A popular BBC comedy series will return for a third series, but it will be its last.
Daddy Issues, set and filmed in Stockport, will return to BBC iPlayer and BBC Three.
It will see Aimee Lou Wood and David Morrissey reprise their roles as Gemma and her father Malcolm in the six-part show.
BBC confirms comedy Daddy Issues to end after series 3
Created and written by Danielle Ward, Daddy Issues has been described as BBC Three’s biggest comedy launch since the start of 2022.
The second series became the channel’s top scripted title for 2025.
The sitcom follows Gemma as she navigates life as a new mum, supported by her well-meaning but inept father, Malcolm.
She is also supported by her best friend Cherry (Taj Atwal), boss Rita (Sarah Hadland), and sister Catherine (Sharon Rooney).
Aimee Lou Wood said: "I'm so happy to be back with David and the brilliant Daddy Issues cast for one final time.
"Gemma and Malcolm are one of the funniest and sweetest comedy double acts on TV, and I've loved being a part of it."
David Morrissey said: "I love doing Daddy Issues so much, such a great cast and crew.
"So I’m delighted to be coming back to have more adventures with Gemma, Malcolm and the gang."
The third series picks up 18 months after the events of series two.
Gemma's daughter Sadie is now in nursery, Gemma has been promoted at the salon, and Malcolm has just ordered a fancy new washing machine to optimise the laundry.
With routines finally falling into place, Gemma begins to consider the possibility of finding love again.
However, true to form, things soon spiral out of control.
A romantic encounter leads to a series of complications, and once again, it’s her dad she has to turn to—this time, perhaps, with him finally stepping up as the adult she’s always hoped he could be.
Danielle Ward, creator and writer of the series, said: "I'm thrilled we're getting to make a third and final series of Daddy Issues.
"The Moscrips have a special part in my heart and I'll be forever grateful to Aimee and David for bringing them to life in such a brilliantly funny way."
