Funboys is a BBC3 comedy series about three emotionally immature young men trying to cope with life’s highs and lows. It stars Ryan Dylan, Rian Lennon and Lee Dobbin as friends Callum, Jordan and Lorcan who must deal with everything from first girlfriends to dead pet pigs.Â
Funboys was previously a short film released by the BBC in 2023 which is still available on IPlayer. Now there’s a full series on its way. Writers and stars of the series, Rian Lennon and Ryan Dylan say: “We are so happy to be making a series about the important things in our lives: innocent wholesome fun, growing up, dying, screaming mental health issues, videogames and the ultimate power of friendship.”Â
