The series, which is written and created by Camilla Whitehill, first debuted in March 2024, and became Channel 4 streaming’s highest new comedy launch since Derry Girls.
Doctor Who star Coughlan and It's a Sin star West will return as Maggie and Eddie, with season 2 picking up a year after the first run.
The official synopsis for season 2 says: "It’s been a year since Maggie and Eddie last saw each other, without any contact between the best friends.
"When Eddie suddenly returns for a wedding, she isn’t alone - Maggie has competition, in the form of an infuriatingly positive spiritual healer named Whitney.
"Can Maggie and her special brand of chaos find space in Eddie’s new life? Or will Maggie lose Eddie forever?"

Coughlan said in a statement: "Deeply grateful to everyone who loves our mad, funny, sad show.
"It’s been one of the greatest joys of my life making it, and I’m beyond delighted that we get to come back and tell the next chapter of Maggie and Eddie’s story. Rats at the ready."
Meanwhile, West added: "So excited to reunite with my besties and work on series 2! I can’t wait to see the scripts and get back to the world of Eggie!"
Whitehill said: "I had no plan B and zero transferable skills so I am overjoyed to be bringing Big Mood back for another round!
"Discovering that there are actually loads of weirdos who like the same weirdo stuff as me has been a real privilege.
"My eternal love and gratitude go to everyone at Channel 4, Dancing Ledge and Fremantle for their fierce support and hard work. My ongoing blackmail campaign against Nicola Coughlan and Lydia West continues in earnest. They’ll never escape me."
Big Mood season 1 is available to stream now, and season 2 will air on Channel 4.
