Stacey & Joe: In Too Deep is the third series of the BBC One show about Stacey Solomon, Joe Swash and their family. The first episode runs from 8pm to 9pm on Tuesday 10 November, and this time the family’s year is built around Joe’s plan for a fishing lake.
Updated Wednesday 4 November 2026.
When does Stacey & Joe: In Too Deep start?
The opening episode is on BBC One at 8pm on Tuesday 10 November 2026 and lasts an hour. It goes on BBC iPlayer too. The listings call it episode 1 of 4. Only the first episode has a date so far, because TV listings reach about a week ahead. We add each new date to the table below, and to our BBC One TV guide, as soon as it appears.
Is In Too Deep a new show?
No. In Too Deep is the name the listings use for series 3 of Stacey & Joe, the fly-on-the-wall show the BBC first ordered with Optomen. It is the same family and the same format: cameras follow the household through ordinary weeks, with one bigger project running through the series. The first two series are on BBC iPlayer if you want to catch up first.
What is series 3 about?
Joe has talked about building a fishing lake since the first series, and this run is where he gets on with it. In episode 1 he gives Stacey the role of project manager, which sets up the pull between his ideas and her need to keep the job on schedule.
The rest of the hour stays close to home. Stacey runs into a paparazzo, a reminder that being famous is not all good news. Two of the family’s birthdays land together, so there is a joint party. And on a trip to a fishery Joe comes across an emu and is taken with it at once.
