BBC Scotland is commissioning a third series of hit reality show The Agency: Unfiltered

BBC Scotland has given the green light to a third series of The Agency: Unfiltered, the hit reality show that pulls back the curtain on the fast-paced and glamorous world of social media influencers. Produced by IWC Media (a UK company owned by Banijay), the show will once again spotlight Lanarkshire-based Aquarius Creative, Scotland’s largest influencer agency, and the lives of its founders Kirsten and Amy.

Since its release in February 2023, The Agency: Unfiltered has been a hit with audiences, with series 1 and 2 achieving a total of over 1.2 million streams on BBC iPlayer. His unfiltered look at the influencer industry is particularly popular with younger viewers: 58% of streams come from the 16 to 34 age group.

The show’s popularity has also earned it critical acclaim, as it was recently nominated for the 2024 BAFTA Scotland Award in the Entertainment category. The ceremony will take place next month.

In the new series, viewers will continue to follow Kirsten and Amy as they cope with the pressures of running their rapidly growing influencer business. Aquarius Creative has moved into a new office in Hamilton that is seven times the size of their original space, which they will rent out for photo shoots, podcasts and TikTok Lives. In this series they also launch their new Aquarius Academy, so the third series is full of new challenges for the girls.

Audiences can look forward to even more glamour, drama and behind-the-scenes insight into the world of influencers, with the return of familiar faces and the introduction of exciting new talent from across the UK.

Series 3 is currently filming and fans can look forward to its release on BBC Scotland and BBC iPlayer in 2025. For those who missed it, Series 2 is now available to stream on BBC iPlayer.

Kirsten and Amy said: “We’re thrilled to be back for a third season of The Agency: Unfiltered! The response to the first two series has been incredible and we can’t wait to share more of our crazy lives. It’s an exciting time for Aquarius Creative – we’re working with some great new clients and expanding our list of top influencers. We’re busier than ever and it’s fantastic that audiences continue to follow us on this journey. Stay tuned for what’s next!”

Louise Thornton, Head of Multiplatform Commissioning at BBC Scotland, commented: “After two successful series, we are delighted to be bringing The Agency: Unfiltered back for a third time. It’s been fantastic to see the show resonate with a younger audience, and so have we.” We’re proud of its success and will continue to offer a unique behind-the-scenes look into the lives of Scotland’s biggest social media stars. We look forward to seeing what Amy and Kirsten have in store this time.”

Laura Capaldi, Executive Producer, IWC Media, said: “We are delighted to have been nominated for a Scottish BAFTA Award for Best Entertainment Program and are delighted to be filming again for Series 3. There’s a huge new element to the new series, namely It’s already proving to be an exciting and dramatic addition to the show and we can’t wait for audiences to see what we’ve been working on!”
