What happens

Big Boys is a British television sitcom created and written by Jack Rooke, first broadcast on Channel 4 and available on All 4 from 26 May 2022. It stars Dylan Llewellyn and Jon Pointing as first-year university students who live together, set from 2013, told from the point of view of Llewellyn's character Jack—a semi-fictionalised version of Rooke, who narrates the series—as he recovers from his father's death and explores his sexuality for the first time. The show was renewed for a second series in August 2022, which began filming in May 2023. Set during the 2014–15 academic year, it began airing on 14 January 2024. A third series was confirmed in June 2024. This was later confirmed as the final series in January 2025, and began airing on Channel 4 on 9 February 2025 with all episodes made available on All 4 following the series premiere.
