BBC bosses decide on the future of Danny Dyer show Mr. Bigstuff after ex-EastEnders star 'found his niche' playing a 'rough-around-the-edges geezer' in Sky comedy

The future of Danny Dyer's Sky comedy has been revealed.

Danny, who played Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter on the BBC soap, saw huge success with his latest release, Mr Big Stuff.

The comedy has reportedly been green-lit for a second season after being hit among viewers, according to The Sun.

It's success saw the series become Sky Max's highest-rated new original comedy in three years, which reported led bosses to wanting more.

A TV insider told the publication: 'Danny seems to have found his niche playing a rough-round-the-edges geezer in an out-and-out comedy show.

'He always said when he quit the BBC One soap that he felt there was one defining role that had so far eluded him.

'Maybe he's finally found that part on Mr Bigstuff. Sky execs certainly seem very impressed.'

Danny plays estranged, wayward brother, Lee, trying to patch up his sibling rivalry.

The storyline is described as a 'story of two estranged brothers; Glen (Ryan Sampson), a nervy perfectionist striving to live the suburban ideal and Lee (Dyer) an alpha male with a prescription drug addiction and a biscuit tin full of his dad's ashes.

Glen and his fiancée share a perfect yet mundane life - as despite him suffering crippling erectile dysfunction and Kirsty has a secret shoplifting habit, but they're happy.

This soon comes to a close when Lee crashes into their lives while on the run from his past, and their perfect lives start to fall apart.

The star said: 'I thought, 'Oh wow, this is totally different from the character of Mick, and something that people have never really seen me do before.'

'This is a joy. To be on a set where everyone's laughing, it's a different kind of energy. 

'I would love to push it further, this comedy thing, if I get an opportunity.' 

The first series ended on a cliffhanger. 

Ryan said of the follow-up: 'Filthy secrets, dirty lies. Someone's gonna have to come clean.'

Filming for the next season will start later this year in London and will launch on Sky and NOW in 2025.
