The latest instalment will see Terry and Gemma face a new deathly challenge - accompanied by her sister Monica.
The plot description reads: "With this new strain on their relationship, they're thrown in headfirst to crack a curious double murder at a local rugby club - whose members seem to have dark and disturbing secrets of their own. As Gemma leads them closer into the complex case, questions begin to arise about their partnership and the mysteries they uncover. If Gemma doesn't pick up the pace, it could be game over for everyone; her and Terry included!"
The show’s creators are delighted to have hired an “amazing cast” for the upcoming instalment.
Writer Jason Cook said: "It's so good to be back with Gemma and Terry, and this time Monica's tagging along to increase the chaos!
“What an amazing cast we managed to get for this one, with some really fantastic performances. I can't wait for everyone to see."
Commissioner Sarah Asante said: "Following the success of Blood Actually, I am thrilled to bring back Sian, Johnny, and Sarah for yet another uproarious one-off instalment alongside the additional fresh and exceptional ensemble cast.
"Brace yourself, as Apocalypse Slough is set to take us on another intriguing romp, full of laughs and surprises delivered by Jason Cook and the Tiger Aspect team."
