Filming has commenced for the third and final series of the award-winning twisted comedy thriller Am I Being Unreasonable? Written by Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli, the pair will reprise their roles alongside Lenny Rush, who won a BAFTA for his role as Ollie and Dustin Demri-Burns as world’s worst husband contender Dan. Made by Boffola Pictures, the series will return to BBC iPlayer and BBC One later this year and is winner of three awards at the Royal Television Society Programme Awards and named 2025 best TV Comedy Drama by the British Comedy Guide.
Filmed in Bristol, Gloucestershire and the West Country, Am I Being Unreasonable? picks up where series two ended: Is Nic’s (Daisy May Cooper) confession finally out there? What exactly did Jen (Selin Hizli) do to Mrs Baggot? Has Dan (Dustin Demri-Burns) put a bun in the wrong oven? Did Ollie (Lenny Rush) make Suzie (Amanda Wilkin) go away? In this murky morality tale, everyone is forced to confront their messy realities once and for all.
We’re never sure who knows what in this brilliantly complex series, but amongst the increasingly tangled web of lies and blurred boundaries, are hilarious set-pieces from the colourful comic characters who live in the village of Copbury.
This series will also guest star Joe Wilkinson (After Life, Him & Her), Allan Mustafa (People Just Do Nothing) and James Gault (Cry Babies) with Tom Davies (King Gary, Wonka) returning in his role of the unhinged cab driver.
Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli say: “Being back on set together feels bittersweet knowing this is our last hurrah, but we’re loving every minute of it. It’s the best job in the world getting to work with your best mate and we’ve got the most amazing team working their hardest to make sure Am I Being Unreasonable? goes out with a big, glorious bang. We can’t wait for everyone to see it!”
