It may be the moment of gritty new dramas – but it’s also the time of year to be welcoming back the return of considerably more hilarious hits like Brassic.

The popular Sky comedy lands on our screens in late September, and is sure to be a comedic rollercoaster as we are reacquainted with the gang which includes actors Joe Gilgun, Michelle Keegan, Dominic West, Tom Hanson and Aaron Heffernan.

All reprising their roles for the fifth season, the fresh episodes also welcome new cast member Camille Cottin, star of the celebrated French comedy-drama Call My Agent, who has joined the show as Vinnie’s new therapist.

The series is based on the true-life misadventures of three-time BAFTA nominated lead actor and co-creator Joe Gilgun, who stars as Vinnie, with Sky promising that viewers can “expect more of the eccentric plans and hijinks from the Brassic gang” in season 5.

So, when do the new episodes land and what can fans expect? Read on for everything you need to know about Brassic season 5.

Many of the usual cast will be returning for the fifth season, and some brand new faces will also join the Brassic season 5 fun, such as Bhavna Limbachia as Meena and Camille Cottin as Fiona Frank.

Of course, there’s a major absence in season 5, as Damien Molony announced he was leaving the show last year. He was part of the series’s main cast since it began in 2019 – but after the shock ending of season 4, Molony won’t be returning as Vinnie’s best friend Dylan.

Speaking about his departure from the series, Michelle Keegan said in an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com: “Damo’s an integral part – and Dylan, obviously – of the show, and we’re going to really, really miss him,” said Keegan. “There’s going to be a feeling, when you go on set, that something’s missing.”
