ITV has released the first trailer for the new season of The Durrells.

Six new 60-minute episodes were commissioned by ITV in April 2016 following the success of the first season and filming began in Corfu last August.

Buy Season 1 on DVD on Amazon.

Based upon Gerald Durrell’s classic trilogy of Corfu memoirs, the family drama tells the story of Louisa Durrell, who makes a radical change and uproots her four unruly ‘children’ Larry, Leslie, Margo and Gerry, from Bournemouth to start a new life in Corfu in the 1930s.

Season 2 will begin on ITV later this month.
