Filming starts on Juice series 2
Mawaan Rizwan’s Jamma is back for more
Filming has begun on the new series of Mawaan Rizwan’s BBC Three comedy Juice.
Russell Tovey is returning to the cast as Guy, the now ex-boyfriend of the comic’s character Jamma, with the Rizwan’s real bother and mother Nabhaan and Shahnaz playing fictionalised versions of themselves. Comic Jeff Mirza plays father Saif with Emily Lloyd-Saini as Winnie.
Guest stars appearing across the series include The League of Gentlemen’s Mark Gatiss and Tamara Lawrance, who starred in Channel 4’s Get Millie Black.
Mawaan Rizwan said: ‘We back baby! This series is wilder, weirder and even a bit scary. The team are on fire and the cast are funnier than ever. Brace yourself. The storm is coming.’
In the new series, Jamma’s clowning around has landed him at the heart of a perfect storm: jobless, sofa-surfing and single. When a mysterious stranger offers to unburden him from his clownish ways to win Guy back, Jamma must decide if the risk is worth the reward.
The surreal comedy, made by Various Artists Limited, first aired on BBC Three in 2023 and has won several awards including an RTS award for comedy drama and a Bafta for best male performance in a comedy for Mawaan.
Broadcast details for the six new half-hour episodes are yet to be announced.
