Brassic season six is set to hit Sky Max and NOW with a bang, and co-creator Danny Brocklehurst is stirring excitement with promises of thrilling new developments. Brocklehurst expressed his enthusiasm: "It's always a delight bringing this magical show to audiences."

"I can't wait for viewers to see what's next for all of them. Showcasing series six is going to be very special. Expect the unexpected."

The cult favourite has not only geared up for its sixth instalment but has secured a seventh season which is presently being filmed. Upon hearing the renewal news, Danny exclaimed: "Season 7! How did this happen?!?".

"Brassic is a delight to make and it's a privilege to create more chaos for our loyal and loving audience."

The upcoming series will feature six episodes filled with the usual antics, reports the Express.

Brassic fans should mark their calendars for Thursday, September 26 at 9pm for the premiere of season six.

Who will we see in Brassic season 6?

Returning to the fold are the cherished characters with Joe Gilgun as Vinnie, Michelle Keegan as Erin, Ryan Sampson as Tommo, and Tom Hanson as Cardi.

Bronagh Gallagher is back as Carol, joined by Joanna Higson as Sugar, Aaron Heffernan as Ash, Parth Thakerar as JJ, Bhavna Limbachia as Meena and Steve Evets as Jim.

Michelle Keegan had previously mentioned how Brassic shines a "positive light" on the working class of northern Britain when the show initially launched.

She shared with NME: "You think it's grimy, you think it's dark, you think it's gloomy. Where[as] this show sort of lifts that and it's shown in a really positive light, it's really funny, and you get amazing characters from these areas."

Is there a trailer for Brassic season 6?

A trailer was unveiled in July 2024, along with some first-look images, hinting at more escapades for the group, including a speeding hearse, a crocodile, guns, swords and a life drawing class.

The gang's lives are put in danger multiple times as they encounter some perilous characters.

What happens in Brassic season 6?

The official summary for season 6 reads: "After an epic end to the last season, the gang are back with as much wild adventure and hilarity as ever."

"Reeling from the explosive encounter with Manolito, they set about getting their lives back in order."

"Only now the landscape is changing, people are getting older and the question of growing up looms in the air."

But what does 'growing up' mean to a bunch like this?

The synopsis goes on: "Season six is a madcap journey involving man-eating crocodiles, bigamists and a naked cult."

"The MacDonaghs are creating trouble again, stepping it up a gear as they get high on new-found power."

"And amongst all this, we're taken on an emotional roller coaster, with some heartfelt goodbyes and new love interests on the horizon."

Brassic season 6 airs on September 26
