Brassic season 5: Release date, cast and latest news for Sky comedy

All reprising their roles for the fifth season, the fresh episodes also welcome new cast member Camille Cottin, star of the celebrated French comedy-drama Call My Agent, who has joined the show as Vinnie's new therapist.

The series is based on the true-life misadventures of three-time BAFTA nominated lead actor and co-creator Joe Gilgun, who stars as Vinnie, with Sky promising that viewers can "expect more of the eccentric plans and hijinks from the Brassic gang" in season 5.

So, when do the new episodes land and what can fans expect? Read on for everything you need to know about Brassic season 5.

Brassic season 5 release date

The new season of Brassic will be landing on Sky Max at 10pm on Thursday 28th September.

And if you're wanting to blitz through all the new episodes at once, you'll be pleased to know you can - as all eight episodes of the comedy series will be made available straight away on demand.

Brassic season 5 cast

Many of the usual cast will be returning for the fifth season, and some brand new faces will also join the Brassic season 5 fun, such as Bhavna Limbachia as Meena and Camille Cottin as Fiona Frank.

Of course, there's a major absence in season 5, as Damien Molony announced he was leaving the show last year. He was part of the series's main cast since it began in 2019 - but after the shock ending of season 4, Molony won't be returning as Vinnie's best friend Dylan.

Speaking about his departure from the series, Michelle Keegan said in an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com: "Damo’s an integral part – and Dylan, obviously – of the show, and we’re going to really, really miss him," said Keegan. "There’s going to be a feeling, when you go on set, that something’s missing."

Brassic season 5 plot

The new series follows on from the chaos of season 4 as Vinnie and his friends are determined to find out just what happened to Dylan (Damien Molony).

Of course, in those final season 4 scenes, we saw Dylan being grabbed by a pair of hired thugs and bundled into the back of a car.

We know that Molony won't be returning as a series regular, so we're certain Dylan's fate isn't a great one, but it's one that the gang will have to uncover and figure out themselves. But will Vinnie discover just what happened to his best friend?

The new season will also see Vinnie and his friends remain in deep trouble with the MacDonagh brothers (Neil Ashton and Greg Wood), whose sister is now joining the feud - and it's only set to get more dramatic.
