Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi are back on ITV next month for a second season of Vicious.

Written by Gary Janetti (Family Guy, Will & Grace), the sitcom follows ageing partners Freddie (McKellen) and Stuart (Jacobi).

Season 2 begins at 9pm on Monday 1 June on ITV. Guest stars will include Georgia King as Ash’s girlfriend Jess and Celia Imrie as Violet’s wealthy sister Lillian.

Game of Thrones star Iwan Rheon, who plays Ash, told CultBox recently: “I think it’s all really settled this year and I think Gary’s written some fantastic scripts. Yeah, it still carries on and just gets funnier! There’s a lot of very funny scenes!”
