Danny Dyer’s EastEnders mum Linda Henry is set to join him for the second series of Mr Bigstuff.
Fan favourite Danny, Brassic favourite and series creator Ryan Sampson, and Big Boys star Harriet Webb are all returning for the second series of the comedy, which will premiere this July on Sky and NOW.
The first series saw Danny earn his inaugural BAFTA TV award for his portrayal of Lee Campbell, the estranged brother of Glen, played by Ryan.
Set in suburban Essex, the series was a massive hit with viewers, becoming Sky Max’s highest-rated new original comedy in three years.
The trailer for the second series dropped on Friday (July 4) which picks up a fortnight after the shocking revelation that the brothers’ dad isn’t actually dead, and Lee and Glen are dealing with it in very different ways, reports the Mirror.

Meanwhile, Kirsty’s taking the reins in both the bedroom and the boardroom, but one ill-timed kiss – and a mysterious blackmailer – threaten to bring everything crashing down.

The brothers aren’t the only ones causing chaos – first-look images hint at guest stars including Danny’s former EastEnders co-star Linda as Pam.
Famous for her role as Shirley Carter in EastEnders, Linda reunites with Danny to play Pam, a no-nonsense, hands-on mechanic at the family haulage firm.
EastEnders legend Shaun Williamson, known for his role as Barry Evans, is also set to make a guest appearance as an irate clown in the fifth episode.
