BAFTA Scotland-Winning Comedy 'Dinosaur' Lands Season 2 Renewal
Fresh off its wins at the 2024 BAFTA Scotland Awards, the BBC has announced that its charmingly offbeat coming-of-age comedy Dinosaur will officially return for a second season.
The series stars Ashley Storrie (The Graduettes) as Nina, an autistic woman in her 30s who lives with her sister Evie (Kat Ronney) in Glasgow. Happy in the established routine of both her life and their relationship, things are thrown into chaos when Evie not only gets a new boyfriend, but agrees to marry him after just six weeks of dating.
Forced to reconcile herself to her sister's impulsive decision, Nina grapples with what this change means for her own life and embarks on a personal journey of self-discovery. This includes everything from a potential move for a job promotion --- Nina's a paleontologist, a fact which helps give the series its title --- to a reevaluation of her feelings toward her kindhearted colleague at the office. At its core, Dinosaur is a series about sisterhood, love, friendship, and being yourself, no matter how uncomfortable that might make others.
