A new Alan Partridge series is in the works.
Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge
Steve Coogan recently returned as the inept broadcaster in his new magazine-style series 'The Time with Alan Partridge', and the character will return for another show according to the latest series' co-writers Neil and Rob Gibbons.
Speaking on the 'Empire Film Podcast', the pair said: "Actually, there are other formats on our list, one of which we're - I don't know if we can talk about it - but we're about to shoot another 'Partridge' series.
"We're going to film it in May for the BBC, which is Alan trying his hand at something else."
'Stan and Ollie' actor Steve will also be back as Alan for a new Comic Relief sketch for Red Nose Day on March 15.
The 53-year-old actor was happy to revive his character on his 'This Time' series and previously explained that his character's lack of filter allows him to make some "atrocious" arguments and explore topics such as the #MeToo movement, which can be "difficult" to talk about.
He said: "Me Too - there's a whole episode about that. That's such a difficult topic for anyone to talk about for anyone to say anything about, but if you're doing a character it weirdly gives you this licence to. You can get things wrong in a big way and it's fine because it's him doing it.
"You're not saying that he's right and you're not saying that he's wrong. It allows you to sprinkle a little humanity on arguments that are atrocious."
Steve also assured viewers that even though Alan can be "ignorant" and "prejudiced" he is a good soul deep down and is "trying to do the right thing".
