Meet the cast of Brassic season 7
Who's who in the Brassic gang?
Brassic season 7 is almost upon us, launching Joe Gilgun, Michelle Keegan, and plenty of other returning faces back onto our screens – but for one final time.
That's right, it's time to bid farewell to the Brassic gang but that's not to say that this final instalment will be any less dramatic or chaotic than previous seasons.
In fact, it may leave fans at quite an emotionally heightened place once they finish the series, with the cast teasing as much.
Speaking with RadioTimes.com exclusively on the red carpet for the National Television Awards 2025, the cast were asked what fans would make of the finale, with Joanna Higson saying: "I think they're gonna be furious!"
Similarly, Ryan Sampson teased: "It's sort of harrowing. The last episode is significantly more dark and intense than we've ever done before. So I'll be keen to see what people think of it."
The trailer for the final season has also now been unveiled, teasing plenty of wild misadventures to come for the group. But who's confirmed to be returning for season 7?
Read on for everything you need to know about the main characters in Brassic season 7.
