The Other One cast from series 2 as hit comedy returns to BBC One

The Other One is back for series 2 on BBC One – here’s all you need to know.

The hit comedy series will return return to BBC One and iPlayer airing on Friday nights.

Appearing on the cast for the second series are Ellie White, Lauren Socha, Christopher Jeffers, Siobhan Finneran, Rebecca Front, Michele Austin and guest star Caroline Quentin.

The Other One follows a girl called Catherine Walcott and another girl called Catherine Walcott – sisters who had no idea the other existed until their father dropped dead.

A teaser for the new episodes shares: “Series two sees further Walcotts emerging from the woodwork, with Cathy Walcott (Ellie White) and sister Cat Walcott (Lauren Socha) reeling from the news they have a brother called Callum (Christopher Jeffers). And that Cathy got off with him.

“Meanwhile, Tess (Rebecca Front) and Marilyn (Siobhan Finneran) find themselves babysitting Callum’s mum Angela (Michele Austin) when she’s thrown out of her house by her shocked husband. Marilyn is suspicious of the new arrival, but Tess is too busy making extravagant plans for spending her inheritance to care.

“Elsewhere, guest star Caroline Quentin returns as over-the-top Auntie Dawn, and Cathy’s ex-fiance Marcus (Amit Shah) is continuing to loiter. A comedy about what happens when you discover your dead dad has a secret family, The Other One is a love letter to siblings, mothers and crap dads.”

Series 2 of The Other One begins on Friday, 6 May 2022 at 9:30PM. The final episode airs 3 June.
