Season synopsis
The Funboys of rural Ballymacnoose return after a turbulent first series. They previously faced grief, a peculiar drug storyline, and difficult behaviour.
Season two finds the group in a brighter phase. Callum is trying a perm, Gemma and Lorcan are frequently affectionate, and Jordan has not had a major outburst for months.
New conflicts
New trouble arrives when the gang becomes entangled with Irish history. Plotlines touch on bigotry, hair loss, and competitive robot combat.
The show teases whether the men will outgrow past flaws. It asks if their soft-hearted nature can heal old wounds.
Production comments
Executive producer Simon Mayhew-Archer praised the series and thanked the BBC for supporting its message. He framed the show as more than television.
Rian Lennon described the new season as bolder and more confident than the first. Ryan Dylan urged viewers to savour the new episodes.
Release details
Season one is available now on BBC iPlayer. The BBC has not yet set a premiere date for season two.
