Billie Piper has shared the first image from I Hate Suzie Too, the follow-up to her acclaimed comedy-drama series I Hate Suzie.
It shows her character Suzie Pickles staring intently at herself in the mirror, suggesting she is facing another crisis of confidence in the new season. I Hate Suzie followed singer-turned-actress Pickles as she navigated the leak of intimate photographs from her phone and subsequent breakdown of her marriage, and the follow-up finds her trying to rehabilitate her reputation.
According to U.K. network Sky, the new run is actually a "three-part anti-Christmas Christmas special." The network's plot synopsis teases: "Suzie has a new agent, new PR, and a new job – dancing for likes on Dance Crazee, a reality TV competition that has the Saturday night audience hooked. Having lost everyone that matters to her, Suzie returns to her first love: the public."
"Battling ex-husband Cob (Daniel Ings) with the help of estranged best friend Naomi (Leila Farzad), Suzie must try to keep life as stable as possible for her young son Frank (Matthew Jordan-Caws), all whilst staying on Dance Crazee long enough to finance her new role as single mum and ex-wife."

Co-created by Piper and Succession writer Lucy Prebble – who also wrote Piper's post-Doctor Who series Secret Diary of a Call Girl – I Hate Suzie premiered in 2020 on Sky Atlantic and Now in the U.K. and HBO Max stateside. It was nominated for Best Drama Series at the BAFTA TV Awards and Piper picked up a further nomination for Best Actress.
Meanwhile, it's just been announced that Heartstopper actress Yasmin Finney has been cast in Doctor Who as a character named Rose: the same name as Piper's popular character from the series. However, we don't yet know if there's any connection between the two Roses, or if it's merely a coincidence.
