Will Mellor and Ralf Little return to U&Dave

Following on from the success of series one, real-life friends and podcast co-stars, Will Mellor and Ralf Little will reappear on U and U&Dave for more Will & Ralf Should Know Better…

The second series, of six episodes, to air in hour-long slots is produced by Afro-Mic productions. This series will air in two blocks of three episodes and see the dynamic duo continue to explore how to grow, adapt and thrive in midlife.

Will Mellor:

“We’re back! I’m so happy to be making a second series of this show with Ralf – we had so much fun filming series one and it seems the public loved it just as much as us. The reaction to series one was overwhelming, and I can’t wait to dive back in with U&Dave and Afro-Mic”

Ralf Little:

“Somehow, they’ve let us do this again! I’m buzzing to be back with Will for round two — more adventures, more questionable decisions, and probably more moments where we ask, ‘What on earth are we doing?’. I’m incredibly grateful for the response to the first series, and I can’t wait to get started on the next!”

Each episode of Will & Ralf Should Know Better will see the pair meeting fascinating characters, exploring different worlds, and taking on a variety of challenges from performing stand-up comedy for the first time, surviving the most haunted pub in the UK, to orienteering in the wild with no phones.

Viewers will once again enjoy the unmistakeable bond between Will and Ralf as they once again join forces, pushing each other outside of their comfort zone. The show offers an unfiltered inside look at the honest conversations and easy camaraderie that comes from years of genuine friendship.
