Series about female friendship are far from a new thing on TV, but another joyous one to add to the canon is Channel 4\u2019s latest comedy<\/a>, Big Mood.<\/p>\n

Led by Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton) and Lydia West (It\u2019s A Sin), the new six-part series<\/a> is described as a \u201cvivacious and rebellious portrayal of female friendship when infiltrated by the complexities of a serious mental illness\u201d.<\/p>\n

The new comedy comes from Fremantle\u2019s Dancing Ledge Productions, which has also been at the helm of BBC One\u2019s\u00a0The Responder<\/a>\u00a0and Disney Plus<\/a>\u2018s\u00a0Wedding Season<\/a>, and is written by Camilla Whitehill.<\/p>\n

Starring as millennial best friends who have been attached at the hip for the past decade, the series will \u201cexplore the messy pitfalls and idiosyncrasies of navigating adulthood through wicked humour, daft anecdotes and unsettling truths\u201d.<\/p>\n

But when does Big Mood land on our screens and who stars in it? Read on to find out.<\/p>\n

    What is Big Mood about?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    In the same vein of female-led comedies about friendship like Broad City or Girls, Big Mood is a show you\u2019ll laugh out loud at \u2013 but it also delivers some great twists in it that open it up to wider themes.<\/p>\n

    As per the synopsis: \u201cBest friends Maggie and Eddie (played by Nicola Coughlan and Lydia West) have lived in each other\u2019s pockets for 10 years, through thick, thin, and multiple challenging eyebrow trends<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \u201cBut with the rest of their lives looming, careers hanging in the balance and Maggie\u2019s bipolar disorder making an unwelcome return to form, Eddie begins to question whether this friendship is really in their best interests<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt\u2019s a pivotal point in both their lives, bringing to the surface those all-important questions \u2013 could sleeping with your former history teacher be the key to happiness? Is a basement Rat Hotel a functional alternative to pest control? With their 20s behind them, Maggie and Eddie\u2019s relationship faces the future \u2013 can it survive?\u201d<\/p>\n
