Cast members Jack Whitehall, Joe Thomas, Charlotte Ritchie, Greg McHugh, Zawe Ashton and Kimberley Nixon will all return for eight new episodes this autumn.

Co-executive producer Judy Counihan commented: “Our fabulous gang of six returns to navigate their second year; no longer freshers, but eager as ever to experience uni life to the full and beyond – and there’s an unsuspecting newbie to educate, too ..”

Roberto Troni, drama commissioning editor, added: “We’re thrilled to have the Fresh Meat gang coming back to Channel 4 for a new academic year and a new series. Sam & Jesse and our brilliant cast return once again to remind us of those excruciatingly awkward yet seminal uni days, in their inimitable and hilarious style. The residents of Hartnell Avenue may be a year older but – thankfully – they’re none the wiser, as they deal with new responsibilities, new housemates and new loves, heartbreak, heartache and few unwanted blasts from the pasts.”

From the creators of Peep Show, the comedy-drama launched in 2011.
