Fans of dark comedy and thrilling narratives have reason to celebrate as filming begins on the third and final series of the acclaimed BBC show, Am I Being Unreasonable?. The series, celebrated for its sharp writing and complex characters, follows a grieving, unhappily married mother navigating life in a rural village while hiding a shadowy secret.
Created and penned by Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli, both creators will reprise their roles alongside BAFTA-winning actor Lenny Rush, who plays Ollie, and Dustin Demri-Burns as Dan. The show has garnered significant recognition, including three Royal Television Society Programme Awards and the British Comedy Guide’s Best TV Comedy Drama of 2025.
Set to premiere on BBC One and BBC iPlayer later this year, the story unfolds across the picturesque backdrop of Bristol, Gloucestershire, and the West Country. The new series picks up with unanswered questions that have kept audiences hooked: Will Nic’s confession come to light? What happened between Jen and Mrs. Baggot? Has Dan made a critical mistake? And did Ollie’s actions lead to a dramatic disappearance?
