Cardinal Burns will return later this month.
The comedy sketch show’s six-part second series begins at 10.30pm on Wednesday 30 April on Channel 4, moving from E4.
New characters will include Hashtag and Bukake, two Turkish minicab drivers who star in their very own Dalston-set Erotic thriller, Curtis a Jheri-curled rapper from the 80’s who invades contemporary London and Bert and Moon, two music festival stewards with cruel intentions.
Returning characters from Series 1 include Banksy, the super cool street artist who’s revealed to be a dull suburban dad, the Office Flirts, a buddy movie adventure set in the world of office temping and Young Dreams, a parody of scripted reality TV which follows the hallowed lives of Rachel, Olivia and Yumi on a fashion internship in London. Also, Phil and Jase, the unphasable paranormal investigators will return for some Human Centipede-style horror adventures.

Phil Clarke, Head of Comedy for Channel 4, commented: “I’m delighted to see Cardinal Burns transfer from E4 onto C4, not least because the show has already won a host of awards and award nominations including wins at The British Comedy Awards, The Broadcast Awards and LAFTA as well as a BAFTA nomination. The move to Ch 4 illustrates our commitment to develop talent, and reflects one of our key objectives; to continue to push the boat out with unique and original comedy.”
Jenna Jones, producer for Left Bank Pictures added: “Seb and Dustin have been lovingly crafting some hilarious new characters in the most astonishing detail and I am soooo excited to be unleashing them – and now on Channel 4 no less! I think this second series sees Seb and Dustin’s unique and brilliant talent really develop and represents a more self-assured, multifaceted and more rebellious side of the two funniest people I know.”
