This month Staged has come back even funnier than ever and has brought us excellent cameos from Simon Pegg and Nick Frost to Whoopi Goldberg, Cate Blanchett and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. But, as it happens with all good things, it has come to an end.
Check out some screencaptures fom the hilarious second season:
Michael Sheen, Anna Lundberg and David & Georgia Tennant discussed the second season of Staged in this week’s issue of Radio Times magazine. Check out the scans on our photo gallery:

Ler maisStaged, the comedy which David Tennant and Michael Sheen filmed from their own homes during lockdown returns to BBC One at 9.45pm on January 4. Here they talk about the new series…
What can you tell us about the new series of Staged?
Michael: David and I are still being ridiculous with and about each other – that’s still very much the tone of it. We have a lot of amazing surprise appearances which I hope people will enjoy as much as David and I enjoyed doing the scenes with them.
David: It’s the same set up as before. Michael Sheen and I talking rubbish to each other over the internet from our respective homes, with Georgia and Anna, our other halves, keeping us from becoming too self-indulgent, not always successfully. But there is a bit of a twist to it all, which I’m not going to reveal here…
In the show you play exaggerated versions of yourselves, are you anything like these characters in real life?
David: I imagine not at all, but probably… quite a lot.
Michael: I think David would say that he’s not at all like his character in the first series. Whereas I would say, I probably am quite like that. But I think between the two series, there’s a slightly more representative version of ourselves emerging, or at least that’s what I would say anyway.
Michael Sheen has been a guest on ‘The Graham Norton Show’ for the second time this year. Alongside David Tennant, he went to the talk show show to talk about the second season of Staged, to premiere on BBC One on January 4. You can watch/download their appearance here.

Ler maisRead the interview Michael has given to the Australian newspaper about the Fox production as it comes to the country by Foxtel:
Ler maisIn Prodigal Son, Michael Sheen plays Martin Whitly, a highly intelligent, charming and cultured medical practitioner. But he’s also a serial killer, kept under close surveillance in a prison where he is visited by profiler Malcolm Bright (Tom Payne), who comes seeking insights into a copycat killer using Whitly’s murderers as a template.
There’s an unmistakable echo in all this of The Silence of the Lambs, and not only because Sheen is, like Anthony Hopkins, who played Hannibal Lecter in the 1991 film, so proudly Welsh.
“One of the useful things about this story is that it touches tropes and little motifs from other shows and stories in the genre,” says Sheen, speaking via Zoom from his home in Port Talbot, Wales, where he is spending – and largely enjoying – lockdown with his partner and young child.
As previously announced, Michael Sheen appeared in this year’s socially distanced edition of the BAFTA TV Awards. He and David Tennant relived their characters in Staged and presented the Best Mini-series award, which went to the HBO production Chernobyl.
