ITV has revealed the first hints for what to expect in the brand new season of Cold Feet.

The BAFTA-winning comedy-drama will be back for eight new episodes in 2016, with original cast members James Nesbitt, Robert Bathurst, Hermione Norris, John Thomson and Fay Ripley all returning.

The official synopsis reads: “It’s been 13 years since Rachel’s untimely death. How has Adam coped without his soulmate, raising their son on his own? Do Pete and Jenny still spend their evenings on the sofa, except now they watch Endeavour instead of Morse? And what of David and Karen? They’d split up, but with three children between them, are the ties that bind still strong?

“When we saw them last, our heroes were on the cusp of change, growing up and settling down. They’d hoped that by the time they were approaching 50, life would be simpler. Well, now they’re there, to discover that it isn’t. The issues they face are different but just as challenging. They still have many years to live, but can’t escape the niggling fear that their futures are behind them.”

Cold Feet launched in 1997 and ran for 33 episodes over five seasons.
