Good news for fans of seeing Will Mellor and Ralf Little face ridiculous challenges: “Will & Ralf Should Know Better” is coming back for a second season on U&Dave. The show that puts the genuine friendship of the two actors to the test proved quite popular, earning itself a renewal after its first run scored some impressive numbers.
How popular? The initial series hit a high of 593,000 viewers, and clips from their antics racked up over 10 million views online. On average, the show brought in 249,000 viewers, which is a notable 85% jump compared to what the channel usually sees in that time slot. Those figures clearly made a strong case for more Will and Ralf.
So, what’s in store for Season 2? The new episodes will see the pair tackle fresh midlife milestones and step way outside their comfort zones. They plan to give stand-up comedy a shot, check out a supposedly haunted pub, and even try to survive in the wild without relying on their phones.
The six new episodes are currently being filmed by Afro-Mic Productions. U&Dave plans to air the season in two parts: three episodes will arrive later this year, with the remaining three following sometime in 2026. Jason Dawson commissioned the show for UKTV, with Adam Collings and Hilary Rosen ordering it for U&Dave. Alison Foster and Emma-Rosa Dias are executive producers, with Sheila Risk and Tommy Forbes serving as series producer and director, respectively.
