As the official synopsis from Sky reads: "Suzie has a new agent, new PR and a new job – dancing for likes on 'Dance Crazee', a reality TV competition that has the Saturday night audience hooked.

Season two was officially commissioned back in February 2021, and speaking about the decision to bring the show back, Billie told HELLO!: "It's taken us a while to find the next phase of Suzie. We don't want to string it out as a serial thing where we're not really caring about the story or the story stops having legs, so we're looking for new and bold ways of telling the story and creating form and that takes time and a lot of living."
