The BBC’s critically acclaimed surreal comedy JUICE is back for a second series on Thursday, 18 September, bringing more of its signature blend of absurd humour, vibrant visuals, and emotional storytelling. Created by and starring Mawaan Rizwan, the show continues to explore themes of identity, love, and family through a uniquely chaotic lens.
Series two picks up with Mawaan’s character navigating the complexities of adulthood, relationships, and self-expression - all while surrounded by a world that’s as unpredictable as his imagination. Returning alongside Mawaan are his real-life mother Shahnaz Rizwan and brother Nabhaan Rizwan, adding authenticity to the show’s exploration of family dynamics.
Russell Tovey, who plays Guy, Mawaan’s love interest, shared his excitement about returning to the show: “JUICE is unlike anything else on TV. It’s bold, it’s beautiful, and it’s got so much heart. I love how it mixes the surreal with the deeply personal - it’s a joy to be part of something so original.”
Tovey also praised Mawaan’s creative vision: “Mawaan has created a world that’s completely his own. It’s playful and wild, but also grounded in real emotion. That’s what makes JUICE so special.”
JUICE series two will air on BBC Three and be available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
