Ellie & Natasia is finally coming back, with the BBC confirming that the surreal sketch comedy will return for Season 2 on Wednesday 21 October. Ellie White and Natasia Demetriou are back to write and star in the new three-part series, four years after the first season aired in 2022. Several familiar characters will also return, including the Mums and Internet Nails entrepreneurs Donna and Nikki, alongside plenty of new sketches and characters.

Who Is Guest Starring in Ellie & Natasia Season 2?

Steve Coogan is one of the biggest names joining the series, following his recent return as Alan Partridge in BBC comedy How Are You? It’s Alan (Partridge). He will be joined by Fleabag star Sian Clifford, Stath Lets Flats creator and star Jamie Demetriou, People Just Do Nothing’s Asim Chaudhry, Ghosts star Kiell Smith-Bynoe and Bad Education’s Vikki Pepperdine.

Daniel Barker, Dustin Demri-Burns, Barney White, Seb Cardinal, Alex Owen, Rosa Robson and Hugh Skinner are also part of the guest line-up.

White and Demetriou joked about the very starry cast, saying: “We had a lot of people begging to be in the show and sadly lots of them didn’t make the cut but the ones that did were definitely the funniest and best looking and transferred the most cash into our bank accounts.” They also described Coogan as an “up and coming comedian” they had been championing, adding: “expect big things from him!”

What Can We Expect From Season 2?

The new episodes will bring back several favourites from the first series, including Donna and Nikki, who are still trying to grow their wonderfully questionable Internet Nails beauty empire. The Mums will also return, alongside new characters and sketches from White and Demetriou. The first series became especially well known online for its Sunday Brunch sketch, with White playing a chef whose salmon dish receives a rather unexpected reaction in the studio. The pair previously appeared together in Stath Lets Flats, with Jamie Demetriou also returning as a guest star in Season 2.

When Is Ellie & Natasia Season 2 Released?

Ellie & Natasia Season 2 will be available from Wednesday 21 October 2026 on BBC iPlayer and BBC Two. The second series consists of three 30-minute episodes and is produced by NIT TV, the joint venture between Harry Hill and CPL Productions. White and Demetriou also executive produce alongside Harry Hill, Danielle Lux and Mobashir Dar.

For CultureCues, we are very happy this one is finally coming back. Ellie White and Natasia Demetriou are hilarious together, and the first series gave us some brilliant sketches, so four years has been far too long to wait for more. The guest cast is fantastic too, and Steve Coogan, Asim Chaudhry, Jamie Demetriou and Kiell Smith-Bynoe popping up across just three episodes should be a lot of fun. We cannot wait to see what bizarre characters and sketches they have come up with this time.

Ellie & Natasia Season 2 arrives on BBC iPlayer and BBC Two on Wednesday 21 October 2026.
