How to watch Things You Should Have Done season 2 from anywhere - stream online

Lucia Keskin, otherwise known by her YouTube alter ego, Chi With a C, was responsible for bringing one of the most surreal comedy shows to the BBC in 2024.

She wrote and took the lead role in Things You Should Have Done, which now has some awards to its name to boot. Naming her character after herself, Chi is a hapless, helpless "stay-at-home daughter," who has zero life skills at the age of 20 when her parents are killed in a car crash.

Chi spent the six-part first series ticking off learning essential life skills from a list her parents left for her - she is only allowed to keep their house if she fulfils their wishes and gains some sort of independence.

The results of this independence mission were undoubtedly hilarious. Excitingly, season 2 kicks off on BBC Three from January 20, and Chi is still working her way through the list of things to do with her life.

Selin Hizli, who took the role of Chi's brittle aunt Karen in season 1, isn't returning, but the excellent Bridget Christie (The Change) joins the cast line-up as a grief counsellor and a perfect replacement.

Does this all sound really good? If you're wondering how to tune in to one of the best comedies you'll ever see, here's how you can watch Things You Should Have Done from anywhere in the world.

Bridget Christie says joining the show as therapist Ruth, as "winning the lottery." She describes her character as "a vulnerable psychopath who brings an atmosphere of imminent danger."

Lucia Keskin spoke of the challenges of returning for season 2, saying, "It was actually really difficult writing this time as I had to change a lot of the storylines but it’s always a pleasure writing for all the cast as I have so many ideas for what they get up to."

When asked what viewers can expect from the second outing, she adds, "Expect more things going wrong, sadness, plot twists, tiny popstars, greasy hair, guest stars like Marc Wootten, Alistair Green, Juliet Cowan, Sarah Kendall, Nathan Foad and hot dogs."
