Smoggie Queens Renewed for Third Series

Smoggie Queens Renewed for Third Series

The popular British LGBTQ+ sitcom Smoggie Queens is set to strut back onto the scene with its third season, following the show's successful recommissioning.

The show's previous two seasons, which were released earlier this year, brought new and exciting content to fans, including the spin-off series The Dickie Show.

Smoggie Queens is created by writer, actor, and star Phil Dunning, and is set in the vibrant town of Middlesbrough. The sitcom follows the lives of a diverse group of friends, including a chosen family of queer people, allies, and drag queens, as they navigate love, laughter, and life's ups and downs.

Returning fan favorites include Dickie (Phil Dunning), Mam (Mark Benton), Lucinda (Alexandra Mardell), Sal (Patsy Lowe), and Stewart (Elijah Young), with more casting announcements to follow.

The show has already featured a number of notable cameos in its first two seasons, including appearances by Michelle Visage, Ted Lasso's Bill Fellows, and Peaky Blinders actress Charlotte Riley.

Series creator and star Phil Dunning's writing has been praised for its unique blend of humor and heart, with one cast member describing it as "clever" and "so much fun." The show's ability to balance lighthearted moments with deeper themes has helped it carve out a special place in British comedy.

With the recommissioning of Smoggie Queens, the BBC is celebrating the show's continued success and the creative team's dedication to bringing the show to life. The series continues to showcase the warmth, wit, and authenticity of Teesside, and fans can't wait to see what chaos the Smoggie Queens will get themselves into next.

The first and second seasons of Smoggie Queens are currently available to stream on BBC iPlayer and BBC Three.
