A fifth series of Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith’s Inside No 9 is coming later in 2020…

Series five of the Beeb’s beloved comedy Inside No. 9 will keep the anthology format of the show, and bring in a host of new guest stars, including Maxine Peake (Three Girls), Jenna Coleman (Victoria), David Morrissey (The Missing), Dipo Ola (Baghdad Central), Phil Davis (Vera Drake), Ralf Little (The Royle Family), Jill Halfpenny (In The Club), Steve Speirs (Upstart Crow), Tom Goodman-Hill (Ideal), Fionn Whitehead (Dunkirk), Kadiff Kirwan (Black Mirror: Nosedive), Debbie Rush (Coronation Street) and Ioanna Kimbook.

See the first trailer below…

Pemberton and Shearsmith said that “having tried and failed to convince the BBC to produce a full Cheese & Crackers series (or at the very least a Summertime Special), we have reluctantly agreed to do another series of Inside No. 9. We will once again attempt to trick, tickle and terrify you – but not necessarily all at once. Unless there’s a twist. Which there won’t be. Or will there? Huge thanks to BBC Comedy and BBC Studios for their continued support, and to our loyal fans for continuing to spread the word”.

The new series will be on BBC Two soon. An air date has not yet been confirmed.
