The teen drama looks at life from the perspective of funny, music-mad 16-year-old Rae, played by Sharon Rooney. Series 1 launched last month on E4 and concludes at 10pm tonight.

Series 2 will begin filming this summer. The six new 60-minute episodes will see Tom Bidwell return as lead writer, alongside other names in the writing team who will be announced soon.

Executive Producer Jude Liknaitzky commented: “’We are beyond delighted to be able to take the stories and characters of My Mad Fat Diary to a second series. We have been overwhelmed by the response to the show and can’t wait to bring more of Rae’s stories to life. It is a joy to work with the creative powerhouse of Tom Bidwell, Rae Earl and Sharon Rooney.”
