Everything I Know About Love Stars Discuss Whether There'll Be A Season 2

The telly adaption of Dolly Alderton's Everything I Know About Love dropped earlier this month - and viewers are already calling for a second season.

ICYMI, the eight-part BBC Three show tells the story of Maggie (Emma Appleton) - whose character is loosely based on Dolly herself - and Birdy (Bel Powley) who have been best mates since school.

You can watch the trailer below:

The pair have been pretty much inseparable for over a decade, heading to sixth form together, then university, and finally moving into a flat share in London with friends Nell (Marli Siu) and Amara (Aliyah Odoffin).

But their friendship becomes fragile when Birdy gets a boyfriend, and slowly starts to drift away from the group, eventually announcing she's moving out.

From landlord drama to awful dates, pre-drinks and walks of shame, the show chronicles the magic of female friendships in your twenties, and provides a huge dose of nostalgia in the form of 2012 Topshop throwbacks.

So it's no surprise that viewers have been left wanting more.

One person wrote on Twitter: "PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME THERE IS GOING TO BE A SECOND SEASON OF EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT LOVE."

While another said: "Sobbing at the end of ep 7 of everything I know about love - now I need to reread the book!! I really hope there’s a second series."

And a third asked: "Is there going to be a season 2 of ‘Everything I know about love’?"

Well, it certainly sounds like the cast of the show would be up for getting involved in a second instalment. Chatting with Tyla, it was a resounding yes from Emma who plays Maggie and Aliyah who plays Amara.

When asked if a second season could be on the cards, Emma says: "I mean, I feel like we would all bite someone’s hand off to do it."

While Aliyah adds: "If there was that world, it would be a fun world." Meanwhile Dolly herself has previously said she would 'love' for the show to get a second season.

Emma and Aliyah explain they – along with Bel and Marli – have formed a pretty solid friendship group themselves since starring together on the show.

The focus on female friendships, sex and dating – and the fact that the series has four female leads – has led many fans have compared it to a younger, British version of Sex And The City.

Chatting to Tyla about how they feel about the comparisons, Aliyah says: "It's really interesting and fun because it is a female led show and so those comparisons are bound to happen.

"When you do have a group of women on screen you do just make comparisons because in our minds it happens so sparingly. I think it’s another form of excitement about things people have loved before."

Meanwhile Emma adds: "That was an inspiration for [Dolly] and it’s natural to have comparisons to the few shows that are just women. What a privilege to be in that world of those shows that have done so well and meant so much to people."

Like Sex and the City, there are a number of sex scenes during the series, and the cast worked with an intimacy co-ordinator throughout - an addition Aliyah describes as 'pivotal'.

"I think with those scenes they can almost feel completely separate to everything else if you don’t have someone like an intimacy co-ordinator because having them made it feel like a dance routine," she says.

"Like a piece of dialogue but with your body, that made the story move along but in a different way. Having them there is a god send."

Meanwhile, Emma adds: "Having done jobs without an intimacy co ordinator and then doing one with one, I wouldn’t work without one again."

We've got everything crossed for a season 2 - come on guys, give the people what they want!
