The outrageous, Stockport-set sitcom Daddy Issues is back! And the family dysfunction continues with the arrival of Gemma’s overbearing mum, who sends Malcolm scurrying back to Derek’s mouldering bedsit. All six episodes are available to stream from debut, as we explain in the guide below about how to watch Daddy Issues season 2 - free and from anywhere with a VPN.
Release date: Friday, November 21 (all episodes) |
Watch free: BBC iPlayer (UK) |
After joining the mile-high club in season 1, Gemma (Aimee Lou Wood) found herself pregnant and forced to flat share with her feckless father Malcom (Sherwood’s David Morrissey), a timid divorcee whose ex-wife Davina wore the trousers.
Despite his comic ineptitude, he was there for Gem when few other women are, among them her incarcerated sister Catherine (Sharon Rooney) – who wrote off the attempted murder of her husband as a legitimate business decision – and sexually confident salon owner Rita (Sarah Hadland), both brimming with bad advice.
And while Gemma’s delighting in raising baby Sadie, now she’s stuck living with her exasperating mother. Well, at least until she and Malcom’s delightfully awful best friend Derek (David Fynn) find a way to make her leave...

Unblock any stream with a VPN
If you're keen to watch Daddy Issues season 2 but you're away from home and access to the show is geo-blocked, then you could always use a VPN to access it (assuming you're not breaching any broadcaster T&Cs, of course). You may be surprised by how simple it is to do.
Use a VPN to watch Daddy Issues from anywhere
Using a VPN is as easy as one-two-three...
1. Download and install a VPN – as we say, our top choice is NordVPN
2. Connect to the appropriate server location – open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate geographical location
3. Go to the broadcaster's live stream – so, in this case, just head to BBC iPlayer

Can I watch Daddy Issues season 2 online in the US?
It’s not looking promising Stateside. The inaugural season of Danielle Ward’s hilarious sitcom was released on the BBC last August, and those initial episodes still haven’t been picked up by a US broadcaster. So it’s unlikely American viewers will find Daddy Issues season 2 to stream anytime soon.
However, Brits traveling abroad can purchase a VPN. That’ll allow you to change your IP address to one in your home country, and so continue to access geo-blocked services inaccessible elsewhere.
Can I watch Daddy Issues season 2 online in Canada?
Not for at least a few months. While Crave debuted the junior season of Daddy Issues last November, there’s no official release date yet for season 2. All is not lost, though. We expect comedy fans in Canada should receive the latest batch of episodes around the same timeframe, so about February 2026. Once we know for sure, we’ll provide all the latest information here.
Traveling to the Great North? UK nationals can continue to access BBC iPlayer using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) and stream regionally restricted content from anywhere as normal.
Can I watch Daddy Issues season 2 online in Australia?
In Oz, Daddy Issues dropped on December 19, via SBS and SBS On Demand, the network’s free, ad-supported streamer. We’re still waiting on an Australian premiere date. But from the details we have, we’d expect it to air on SBS in the first half of 2026.
Luckily, Brits currently travelling abroad can use a VPN to watch Daddy Issues season 2 from anywhere.
