Filming has begun on the second series of Ashley Storrie’s comedy 'Dinosaur.' The comic returns as the autistic character Nina, who now has a love interest played by Hyoie O’Grady, recently seen in the US series 'Sherlock & Daughter.'
Storrie created the series with Matilda Curtis, and it has already bagged the best scripted comedy award at the 2024 RTS Scotland Awards, as well as both a writing and audience award at last year’s Scottish Baftas.
Fleabag makers Two Brothers Pictures are working on six new half-hour episodes in Glasgow. Returning for series two are stars Kat Ronney, David Carlyle, Lorn Macdonald, Danny Ashok, Sally Howitt, Greg Hemphill, Sabrina Sandhu, Ben Rufus Green, Jim Kitson, and Martine Brown.
When series two was announced in November, Storrie said: 'I’m dead chuffed that the amazing team that brought series one to life has been recognized by our peers in the Scottish film and television industry, and I’m so excited that we’re getting to share more of Nina and her family’s journey. Who knows, there might be actual dinosaurs this time round…'
Curtis added: 'I’m so grateful for the chance to get back into Nina's world again for series two. 'Dinosaur' is the best cast and crew working at the top of their game, and I'm over the moon the show has been recognized by Bafta Scotland!'
