How many series as there of I Hate Suzie?
There are two series of I Hate Suzie Too. The first series aired back in 2020 and in setting the story, a female celebrity names Suzie has her whole life turned up side down when her phone is hacked and a photo of her in an extremely compromising position emerges. It stars Billie Piper, Leila Farzad and Daniel Ings.
Billie revealed in 2020 that a second series would be considered if the show was received well. "I think we would like to do a second series if we can continue to push it — and we obviously have to come up with the story! We have no idea where it would go next and this stage. We’re going to start at least talking about it in January."
The second series is due to air next month (December 2022).
Who is I Hate Suzie based on?
I Hate Suzie Too is created by Billie Piper and Lucy Prebble and is based on a true story. Lead actress and co-creator Billie Piper revealed the series is inspired by the lives of multiple people - but while she dismisses it as being autobiographical from the similarities between Suzie's career and Billies, she clarified that while the actual narrative is "completely made up" it is derived from real-life events.
"It’s not autobiographical in the moment-to-moment," she said. "My god, I would be horrified if people thought I was exactly like Suzie Pickles."
Billie explained, "It is like watching a car crash. You can’t believe the life choices she’s making. It’s quite unusual to see a woman making such relentless appalling choices with her life. It’s very funny, but it’s punishing to watch, I think, when you’re witnessing that. And other times you do like her, and yet she’s part of the problem."
Events touched upon in the show include leaked photographs - which has happened to celebrities including Lily Allen, Charlotte Church and Britney Spears.
In the second season, Suzie has a new agent, new PR and a new job - dancing for likes on Dance Crazee, a reality TV competition - likened to So You Think You Can Dance. 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.
In this three-part anti-Christmas Christmas special, Suzie fights to regain the love of the British public whilst her personal life spirals out of control. Can she win the hearts of her audience and restore her reputation? And at what cost?
