Dawn French and Emilia Fox will return to Sky1 later this year with a new season of Delicious.

Written by Dan Sefton (The Good Karma Hotel, Secret Diary of a Call Girl), the drama series launched last December and averaged a cumulative audience of 1.87 million, making it Sky1’s most watched UK drama series of 2016.

Adam MacDonald, director of Sky 1, teased: “Delicious delivered our largest average audience for a Sky 1 original drama in 2016, so we knew we had to put it back on the menu. Viewers can expect more love, more lies and more lip-smacking dishes to be served up next time around.”

The first season of Delicious saw Dawn French and Emilia Fox entangled in a compelling tale of love, sex, deceit and betrayal.

Dawn French commented: “I am utterly delighted that there will be more of Delicious. It is that rare thing where everything from every department comes together well, and Dan is already cooking up some remarkable storylines. I can’t wait to be back in Gina’s apron, up to my elbows in flour and up to my neck in trouble. Bring it on!”

Emilia Fox added: “I am absolutely thrilled that there is going to be a second helping of Delicious! It was a delight to work on in every way and the response from the audience was such a joy. I can’t wait to be back working with Dawn and the wonderful cast and crew on more Delicious storylines from Dan. Thank you to Sky for inviting us back!”
