“This series has been a joy to work on from start to finish and we couldn’t be more excited to be back on the BBC,” said writers Holly Walsh and Pippa Brown following confirmation that The Other One season 2 had been given the greenlight.
The BBC comedy revolves around sisters Cathy and Cat, who only learn about one another following the death of their dad – and as if that isn’t life-changing enough, at the end of season 1 they discover that they also have a brother, Callum, who Cathy snogged on a night out #awks.
Here’s everything you need to know about The Other One season 2.

The Other One season 2 plot
Season 2 picks up where we left off, with Cat breaking the news to Cathy that she necked on with her brother on their Girls’ Night Out. The former, as you’d expect, is ecstatic that she has another sibling. The latter, as you’d expect, is mortified that she kissed her own flesh and blood.
Cathy and Cat’s mums Marilyn and Tess are also shocked, with Marilyn, in particular, struggling to come to terms with the news, as does Callum, who is floored when he learns the truth.
