Check out the trailer 🎥 👇
Last updated 21st Mar 2024
Irish actress Nicola Coughlan, who shot to fame in popular series’ Derry Girls and Bridgerton, has shared an exciting trailer for her new comedy show Big Mood.
Channel 4 describes Big Mood as ‘a vivacious and rebellious portrayal of female friendship when infiltrated by the complexities of a serious mental illness.’
Coughlan stars alongside Lydia West (It’s A Sin), the pair play best friends Maggie and Eddie who have lived in each other’s pockets for ten years.
What is Big Mood about?
Best friends Maggie and Eddie are struggling to balance life, careers, friendship, and Maggie’s bipolar disorder.
Eddie begins to question whether this friendship is really in their best interests.
With their twenties behind them, Maggie and Eddie’s relationship faces the future – can it survive?
Speaking about her character in the show Nicola Coughlan said: “I think when you meet Maggie at first you think she's just this really fun-loving kooky girl and there’s little hints throughout the first episode that something's not quite right, but I think the first episode really wrong-foots the audience in a clever way because you think oh she’s so fun and then you start to think – oh hang on, somethings not quite right here.
“So, the first episode you see her, she's full of beans and has this insane mission to go off to her old school, she's decided she's going to do a talk there about being a playwright and then you quickly realise she's got an ulterior motive and it's completely messy.
“Maggie’s quite chaotic and Eddie's very grounded and they sort of balance each other out. But I think you start to question almost immediately, who's benefiting from this? And you really see that dynamic sort of start to fracture as the show goes on.”

When will Big Mood air?
The six-part series will be available to watch and stream on Channel 4 from Thursday 28th March.
