Inside No. 9 has been recommissioned by BBC Two for a second series.

The League of Gentlemen stars Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton will begin filming new episodes of the dark anthology comedy series later this year.

Shearsmith told Chortle: “We have now got a second series of [Inside] No. 9. We’ve got to get the scripts going, because I think we film them at the end of autumn, so we want to make sure that they’re good and ready.”

He added: “You want to set yourself a bar quite high where you can look back at the first series and think, “Oh god these are really good, we’d better carry on and top them again”. We’ve got to get our thinking caps on again.”

Series 2 concluded on BBC Two last night with ‘The Harrowing’.
