Fans of smart, dark comedy have much to celebrate as production starts on the third and concluding series of the critically acclaimed BBC show, Am I Being Unreasonable?. The award-winning series follows a grieving mother trapped in an unhappy marriage in a rural community, all while hiding a chilling secret.
Creators and stars Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli are set to reprise their roles, joined once again by BAFTA-winner Lenny Rush, known for his role as Ollie, and Dustin Demri-Burns as Dan. The series, which earned three Royal Television Society Programme Awards and was named 2025’s Best TV Comedy Drama by the British Comedy Guide, promises an intense and darkly humorous conclusion when it premieres later this year on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
Filmed across Bristol, Gloucestershire, and the West Country, the new season picks up right where the last left off. The official synopsis hints at a web of secrets finally unraveling: “Is Nic’s confession finally out there? What exactly did Jen do to Mrs Baggot? Has Dan put a bun in the wrong oven? Did Ollie make Suzie go away? This murky morality tale forces every character to face their messy realities head-on.”

Reflecting on their final collaboration, Cooper and Hizli shared: “Being back on set together feels bittersweet knowing this is our last hurrah, but we’re loving every minute of it. It’s the best job in the world working with your best mate, and our amazing team is going all out to ensure Am I Being Unreasonable? ends with a spectacular bang. We can’t wait for everyone to see it!”
Responding to the announcement, fans took to Instagram expressing both excitement and sadness at the series conclusion. One wrote, “Noooo why the final season,” while others shared, “Can’t wait yess,” and “YESSSS thrilled with this news.”
Audience acclaim has been overwhelming throughout the run. An IMDb reviewer praised, “Absolutely loved this. Stellar writing from Cooper as always. This show pushes the envelope in British TV.” Another compared it to cult favourites: “League of Gentlemen meets Motherland. Perfect for This Country fans.” Viewers frequently called it “gripping,” “brilliant,” and “jaw-droppingly good,” with many hailing it as Daisy May Cooper’s finest work to date.
