Meet the cast of the Outnumbered 2024 Christmas special

As a long-time fan of the hilarious and relatable sitcom “Outnumbered”, I eagerly await the Christmas special airing on BBC One and iPlayer on the 26th of December at 9:40pm. The return of the Brockman family, with their unique blend of chaos and humor, is certainly a highlight of my holiday season!

Eight years have passed since we last saw the Brockman family, but they’ve made a comeback in this year’s freshly released Outnumbered Christmas special.

In their newly acquired home, Claire Skinner’s character Sue and Hugh Dennis’s character Pete are seen overseeing their grown-up children during a conventional holiday celebration – a family Christmas. However, as the offspring have matured, they each face unique challenges in their lives.

Jake, who is now a father, is attempting to juggle working from home with raising his energetic three-year-old, while Ben worries his parents by planning a big adventure, and Karen struggles with frustrations both professional and personal.

Besides Jane, the family’s sometimes uninvited guest, fans may encounter other characters as well. Who are they and where have you possibly encountered them before is something to ponder.

Read on for everything you need to know about the cast of the 2024 Outnumbered Christmas special.
