"Cuckoo was one of BBC3's most stand-out comedies, so I'm delighted to welcome it back with the addition of superstar Taylor Lautner joining the critically acclaimed Greg Davies and an outstanding British comedy cast for what will be one of the comedy treats of the year," Zai Bennet, BBC3 controller, said.
The first season of Cuckoo starred Samberg as Cuckoo, the hippie husband and self-appointed spiritual ninja of a middle-class English girl who brings him home after a summer abroad.
The second season of Cuckoo, where Lautner will play the lead, picks up two years after Cuckoo disappeared while researching a book in the Himalayas, leaving his wife Rachel (Tamla Kari) to rebuild her life alongside her brother and parents.
