Cuckoo is a British sitcom that premiered on BBC Three on September 25, 2012, with repeats on BBC One, and was picked up by Netflix in 2016.
Andy Samberg, Taylor Lautner, Andie MacDowell, Greg Davies, Tamla Kari, Esther Smith, Tyger Drew-Honey, Helen Baxendale, Matt Lacey, and Kenneth Collard star in Cuckoo, which was written by Robin French and Kieron Quirke.
The series premiere surpassed Bad Education, which launched the previous month, as BBC Three’s most-watched comedy premiere. Greg Davies received a BAFTA nomination for Best Male Performance in a Comedy Programme. Cuckoo was nominated for Best New Comedy Programme and Greg Davies was nominated for Best TV Comedy Actor at the British Comedy Awards.
The BBC ordered a second season, but due to Samberg’s busy schedule, it appeared to be in jeopardy. In February 2014, it was confirmed that Samberg will not reprise his role as Cuckoo’s long-lost lovechild Dale in the second series, with Taylor Lautner taking his place.
On August 7, 2014, the second series began. Cuckoo was renewed for two more seasons on April 4, 2016. Lautner confirmed the completion of Series 4 on social media on March 18, 2018. On August 2, 2018, it was released.
There is a total of 5 series in Cuckoo. In May of 2015, an NBC television network pilot was being considered. The show is shot in the Buckinghamshire town of Amersham and the surrounding ‘old town.’ Some outside sequences were also shot in and around Thame, Oxfordshire.
