Yes, Daisy Cooper and Selin Hizli have confirmed that Am I Being Unreasonable will return for a second season. Sharing the exciting news in an Instagram post, Daisy Cooper and Selin Hizli wrote, "When we first started writing this show we never dreamed it would get commissioned, let alone get another series. 

"We're so grateful to everyone who has watched it and we promise we will work our hardest to make the second series even better than the first...It's gonna hit you with all the grace and decorum of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on."

Jon Petrie, the Director of BBC Comedy, admitted that the BBC commissioned the second season for somewhat selfish reasons, with him and his colleagues desperate to watch more episodes of the show. He said, "We had so many questions after binging the first series that we were selfishly desperate to have more Am I Being Unreasonable? in our lives. Luckily, we know that our viewers feel the same way.

There is not yet a set release date for the second series of Am I Being Unreasonable, but looking to the filming schedule of the show's first season, which was filmed in 2021 at Bristol’s Bottle Yard Studios and was aired a year later in September 2022, Am I Being Unreasonable season 2 will likely hit screens in late 2023/early 2024.
