The show launched as a three-part serial on BBC Three in March.

Series 2 will revisit the cauldron of Roarton where the living and the undead have reached a fragile peace. After the shocking events of Series 1, Kieren is hoping to get on with his second life but the arrival of new and explosive characters throws those plans into disarray. Battle lines are drawn and all will be judged.

Writer Dominic Mitchell commented: “I am absolutely delighted and thrilled to be given this fantastic opportunity to continue exploring the characters and world of In The Flesh.”

BBC Three controller Zai Bennett added: “In The Flesh was a fantastically original and engaging drama for BBC Three. I’m delighted Dominic and the team will be able to tell more stories from the riveting characters and engaging world they created.”

Series 2 will begin filming later this year and will air on BBC Three in 2014.
