The BBC can barely contain its excitement as it announces that "Smoggie Queens," everyone's favorite LGBTQ+ comedy, will be back with a second season. This much-loved series will grace our screens later this year on both BBC Three and BBC iPlayer, ready once again with its special brand that mixes laughter, joy, and heartfelt moments.
Welcome back, "Smoggie Queens"
If you haven't caught it yet, "Smoggie Queens" has quickly won fans over with its perfect mix: humor, heart, and a genuine look at LGBTQ+ life. The show follows a quirky crew in Middlesbrough, a tight-knit group celebrating queer joy while navigating life, love, and all things drag. With its unique appeal and undeniable comedy, it connects with viewers from all walks, making its return a true cause, can we say it, celebration?
In this new season, brace yourself; more slapstick, silliness, and those one-liners we all love are on their merry little comedic ways. The creators promise us a treasure chest brimming with joy—no complaints here—so fans can rest easy knowing their screens will soon light up with endless entertainment.
Meet this talented cast
The ever-talented Phil Dunning steps back in as writer, creator, and star, taking on Dickie, our favorite ego-driven drag diva. With Dickie's booming personality and even bigger wigs, comedy gold seems guaranteed.
Backing up Dickie are her fabulously quirky friends. We have "Waterloo Road" alum Mark Benton as Mam, delivering guidance with a side order (or a main course) full o' humor. Then there's Lucinda—played by "Coronation Street"'s own Alexandra Mardell—and Patsy Lowe's Sal, a woman whose few words bring unique flavor. New face Elijah Young enters as Stewart, a fresh face in drag who strikes unbeatable chemistry with Dickie, providing comic moments anyone who's felt like "the new kid" will cherish.
Special guest stars, anyone?
The first season didn't hold back, featuring a dazzling cameo from "RuPaul's Drag Race" judge Michelle Visage as Elaine, bringing extra glamour. Fans buzz with anticipation, hoping more celebrity appearances will sprinkle magic over this upcoming season, making "Smoggie Queens" a staple in LGBTQ+ TV brilliance.
What it means To be a "smoggie queen"
Per Phil Dunning's words, a "Smoggie Queen" defies convention while celebrating individuality. Often hailing from Teesside, these characters embrace their outsider status, but hey, everyone gets a warm welcome here, and that's what gives "Smoggie Queens" its universal charm.
The inaugural season aimed at "joy and elation," and, judging by this renewal, mission accomplished! "Smoggie Queens" superbly balances comedy with heartfelt moments, carving its place as a standout in LGBTQ+ storytelling.
