Sky1’s family comedy Yonderland has been recommissioned for a second series.

Created, written by and starring the team behind Horrible Histories – Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond – Yonderland launched last November.

Adam MacDonald, Director of Sky1, commented: “We are incredibly proud to be able to bring Yonderland back for a second joyful series. The show epitomises Sky1, it is a brilliantly creative, cheeky, laugh-out-loud show that the whole family can relish.”

Lucy Lumsden, Head of Comedy, Sky Entertainment added: “We’re delighted to be able to reunite the multi-talented Yonderland team for another series. Many more magical treats of silliness await.”

Series 2 will begin filming this autumn and will air on Sky1 in 2015.

Yonderland follows the adventures of mum, aka The Chosen One, Debbie Maddox (Martha Howe-Douglas) who at the end of series one, rescued Elf and Nick the Stick from try-hard overlord Negatus’ lair and came face to face for the first time with his boss, the evil Imperatrix. Series two will see Debbie fighting an increasingly hard battle to keep her family life and her job as world saver separate.

As husband Peter’s (Dan Skinner) paranoia about strange goings on in the kitchen cupboard grows, Imperatrix intensifies her efforts to rid the realm of the final obstacle to total domination: Debbie of Maddox (the ‘of’ is optional). And all this while Debbie is being endlessly called upon by the Council of Elders to help them with tasks that reach well beyond her Chosen One remit.
