My unsolicited and unverified theories and overall thoughts about Big Mood S2.

I feel like wrap day is the perfect opportunity to do this kind of post despite the fandom being on fire (when isn’t it, really?).

I. The release date

The 1st season was released less than a year after filming, so I expect something similar for s2. Since most of Nicola’s projects will come out in the first half of 2026, I think Big Mood might release late spring or early summer 2026. I’m not sure if that’s technically possible, but I hope so.

II. Characters

Returning characters

I’m happy Will is coming back! I love his dynamic with Eddie. While I want Maggie and Eddie to have a platonic happy ending, I’m really hoping for Will and Eddie to be endgame.

The return of Krent is interesting. I love his character - he is so funny. But he was the barman at Eddie’s bar, which she decided to sell at the end of season 1. So… in what capacity will he return? Will there be a new bar, or will he become part of the friend group?

Also glad to see that Vanessa – Maggie’s agent will make a return. I hope that means Maggie will continue her playwriting career, and hopefully this time it will be more successful.

Also, it’s interesting to note who isn’t returning (or at least isn’t listed as returning for now): among them are Eddie’s brother and Jonah - thank goodness!

New characters

We know that Hannah will be playing an infuriatingly positive spiritual healer named Whitney, who will be Maggie’s new competition. She wrapped filming closer to the end, so I expect her character to play a more prominent role in the story.

I feel like Munroe Bergdorf and Kyran Thrax will play diva-like characters who bring chaos wherever they go.

I think Robert Lindsay will be playing Maggie’s father, because in the short promotional clip, when Nicola is reading the script, she mentions her father.

Also, some of the male actors might be playing Maggie’s or Eddie’s love interests.

III. Plot

For plot we have this  short summary : at the start of Season 2, it’s been a year since Maggie and Eddie last saw each other, without any contact between them. When Eddie suddenly returns for a wedding, she isn’t alone – Maggie has competition, in the form of an infuriatingly positive spiritual healer named Whitney. Maggie needs to work out if her special brand of chaos can find space in Eddie’s new life, or she fears she will lose her forever.

And pap photos of Maggie, Eddie, Anya, Ryan, Owen and Whitney, where Anya’s character looks pregnant.

So I think this is the scene where they return from the wedding.

The episode will probably start with the wedding itself, where Maggie will meet Eddie and Whitney. Whose wedding it will be - perhaps a mutual friend, maybe Anya herself, or another familiar character?

And in this scene, probably after some chaos at the wedding, they’re hungover and in a bad mood as they return to their regular lives.

As for Maggie’s mental health, it looks like the episode will start with her either in a manic state or a normal state.
