Creator and writer Jack Rooke set this semi-autobiographical series in the early 2010s when he was personally coming to terms with his sexuality and the death of his father and so "Big Boys" season 3 makes a perfect place to end the cult sitcom as it would also represent his last year at uni. But will Jack and Danny's friendship make it into the adult world?
Read on for details about how to watch "Big Boys" season 3 for free, and how Brits abroad can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.
► U.K. date and time: "Big Boys" season 3 will premiere on Sunday, February 9 at 10 p.m. GMT on Channel 4, with all episodes dropping online at the time time. The first three episodes are already available to stream on Channel 4+ Premiere for paid subscribers.
• FREE STREAM — Channel 4 (U.K.)
• Australia — ABC
• Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN
That's one of the questions most viewers will want answering, because the beautiful, odd couple friendship between a gay and straight guy has touched many. We are warned by the advance publicity, however, that their relationship will be "pushed to its limits".
We're also promised "all the ups and downs of dissertations, deadlines, dating and the devastating departure of Louis Walsh from The X-Factor (for Jack anyway!)" – which dates the show nicely and will bring plenty of 2010s nostalgia. Peggy and Shannon also embark on new romances.

'Big Boys' season 3 FAQ
What has BAFTA-winning writer and creator, Jack Rooke, said about his show coming to and end?
“Ten years ago I took a rather ramshackle comedy-theatre hour about grief and friendship to a damp cave at the Edinburgh Fringe and never thought a decade later it’d be a silly, sweet lil sitcom about a lad’s lad and a dweeby gay becoming best mates. My therapist (a close lesbian friend) suggested that Big Boys is subconsciously about me not being able to say a proper goodbye to certain people or periods of my life, and so to give this show a final send-off is a huge honour. I’ve known the ending since the pilot, and I hope it still represents those first Edinburgh shows but also the collaborative genius of our incredible cast, crew and creative team. I’ll be indebted to them always for giving me the funniest, happiest years making Big Boys 1-3. Thank you!”
