Nothing says happy holidays like an exploration of the uncomfortable dark side of show business! At least, not according to the critically acclaimed I Hate Suzie, which returns this month and aims to further explore its titular heroine's spiral into self-doubt and her struggle to remake her public image.

The series stars former Doctor Who companion Billie Piper as the titular Suzie Pickels, a problematic and often unlikeable former child star turned C-list celebrity whose life fell apart in the wake of a phone hacking scandal. The show's first season follows her journey through each of the stages of grief after her nude photos are leaked, subsequently destroying her marriage, damaging her professional reputation, and turning her life upside down.

The second installment of the critically acclaimed dark comedy—snarkily called I Hate Suzie Too—is being billed as an "anti-Christmas, Christmas special", and if the recently released trailer is anything to go by, Suzie's story will be far from festive as she attempts to rehabilitate her career.
