Stacey & Joe Season 2 Release Date Revealed With Shocking Firsts Ahead
Stacey & Joe season 2 finally has a release date, and fans are being promised 'monumental firsts for the family.'
Clear your Tuesday night. Stacey & Joe is back, and yes, we are once again returning to the delightful chaos of Pickle Cottage.
When and where
Season 2 lands on BBC One and iPlayer on Tuesday 9 September at 8pm. It picks up right where the cameras left off, which is polite TV-speak for: no time jump, straight back into the thick of it.
What this show actually is
If you missed season 1, this is a fly-on-the-wall series following singer and TV presenter Stacey Solomon and her husband, former EastEnders regular Joe Swash, at their Essex home (aka Pickle Cottage). It is very much what it says on the tin: family life, unfiltered, with teenagers, toddlers, pets, and the odd DIY project competing for attention.
Season 2: the good, the mushy, the mildly chaotic
The new run promises a bunch of big family firsts and everyday circus acts. Highlights include:
- Belle heading off for her first day at nursery
- All the little ones learning to ski (strap in for helmet hair)
- A Valentine's Day gift that sends Stacey into a fit of giggles
- Zach starting driving lessons, with grandad Dave riding shotgun
What the show is digging into this time
Beyond the cute milestones, the series leans into the logistics of a blended family spanning teenagers to toddlers. Expect the usual calendar Tetris as Stacey and Joe juggle work, passion projects, and the ever-shifting dynamics that come with a busy house. It is domestic life, but with cameras, schedules, and the occasional meltdown — basically, the full picture.
"We've been so grateful for all the lovely messages and people watching series 1. Everyone's support means the world to us and we can't wait to take everyone on this crazy journey we call life! We hope people will laugh along with us again in this new series."
Why the BBC wanted more
Season 1 did serious numbers. The opener pulled an audience of 4.2 million on BBC One — a lot of eyes on Pickle Cottage. The team behind the show says viewers have fully adopted the family (and the pets), so season 2 will keep reflecting that busy, buzzy household energy.
Behind the scenes, BBC Documentaries is steering again, and Optomen is back filming the highs, lows, and everything in between. Translation: there is, apparently, still no such thing as a quiet day at Pickle Cottage.
Stacey & Joe season 2 premieres Tuesday 9 September at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
