A third season of Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith’s Inside No. 9 has been commissioned by BBC Two.

The dark anthology comedy series will return for six new episodes, with each film again being set in a different location with all-new characters.

> Buy Season 1 on DVD on Amazon.

> Buy Season 2 on DVD on Amazon.

Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith commented: “We are thrilled to have the chance to explore six more number 9s. Every story is a labour of love, so we will do our best to ensure the viewers are once again moved to tears of laughter and terror. (If you can get tears of terror.)”

Shane Allen, Controller, Comedy Commissioning added: “Reece and Steve’s grasp of story-telling and comic inventiveness slices the top of your head off. This return will continue to enthral and surprise audiences with some ideas that may even make you want to sleep with the light on.”

The second season concluded on BBC Two in April.
