Soap icon Danny, Brassic favourite and series creator Ryan Sampson and Big Boys star Harriet Webb return in series two of the comedy, premiering this July on Sky and NOW.

Set in suburban Essex, the series was a huge hit with audiences, becoming Sky Max's highest-rated new original comedy in three years.

Series two picks up two weeks after the shock news that the brothers' dad’s not actually dead, and Lee and Glen are handling it very differently.

But, with chaos mounting and questions piling up, the brothers unite on a mission to track him down.

Meanwhile, Kirsty's taking charge in the bedroom and the boardroom, but one badly timed kiss - and a mysterious blackmailer -threaten to bring it all crashing down.

With secrets spilling and tempers flaring, it’s only a matter of time before the family blows up - again.

The brothers aren’t the only ones bringing chaos – first-look images tease guest stars including Danny's former EastEnders co-star Linda as Pam.

Known for her portrayal of Shirley Carter in EastEnders, Linda reunites with Danny to play Pam, a no-nonsense, hands-on mechanic at the family haulage firm.

Fellow EastEnders legend Shaun Williamson, who played Barry Evans, will also make a guest appearance as an angry clown in episode five.

Guest-starring in episode two, Rula Lensk, renowned for her roles in Coronation Street and her memorable appearance on Celebrity Big Brothe, delivers high comedy as Rita, an eccentric and flirtatious woman the brothers believe is connected to their missing dad, Don Campbell.
