First Look Images Released for Series Two of Bridget Christie’s Hit Comedy The Change on Channel 4

First look images have been released for series two of the critically acclaimed comedy hit, The Change, which will return to Channel 4 in early 2025.

The BAFTA and RTS-nominated comedy series is created and written by multi-award-winning stand-up comedian, actor, and writer Bridget Christie.

Produced by Expectation and co-directed by Bridget and Mackenzie Crook (Detectorists, The Office, Pirates of the Caribbean), the new series of The Change will see the star-studded cast returning to the Forest of Dean, including Susan Lynch playing Eel Sister Agnes; Tanya Moodie playing DJ Joy; Liza Tarbuck playing Linda’s older, domineering sister Siobhain; Jim Howick as The Verderer; Jerome Flynn as Pig Man; Paul Whitehouse as Tony and Omid Djalili is back as Linda’s husband Steve. Laura Checkley (King Gary, Detectorists) joins as Eel Sister Theresa.

At the start of series two, Linda (Bridget Christie) has got some explaining to do. Faced with the repercussions of the lies she’s told the forest community, along with losing the Mother Tree, and the arrival of husband Steve who has come to bring her home, Linda’s future in the forest looks uncertain. But she’s already come a long way since being mother/wife/homemaker Linda Jane Jenkins of Swindon, and her journey is far from over.  She may have only been Eel Queen for a day, but something’s changed in Linda which means she’s not done yet – in fact she’s only just started. But little does she realise what a huge impact this decision will have on the town…and Steve.

The Change series two was commissioned by Charlie Perkins, Head of Comedy and Laura Riseam, Commissioning Editor for Comedy at Channel 4. The series is produced by Expectation and executive producers are Bridget Christie, Nerys Evans and Morwenna Gordon. The producer is Lisa Mitchell. 

BBC Studios, who have a minority investment stake in Expectation, are handling international distribution of the series.
