The writers of Channel 4’s Humans have revealed that they will “take the world forward a little bit” in the show’s second season.

The new sci-fi drama’s first season concluded on Sunday night on Channel 4.

> Order Season 1 on DVD on Amazon.

Filming on eight new episodes will begin next year.

Sam Vincent told The Guardian: “Obviously I am treading very carefully here but we do want to take the world forward a little bit and want to see what the next phase of this technology is, that it is moving on and moving forward and is producing news effects, both positive and negative. So we are going to move the status quo of the world forward a little bit.”

Jonathan Brackley added: “We are going to stick to the things that we loved about the original [Swedish] series when we came to it, the balance of stories between more domestic-based stories and the more thrillery aspect to the show, so are we going to stick to that.”

Asked about their hopes for the long-term future of Humans, Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley joked last month: “Six seasons and a movie!”
