Here We Go is to return for two more series

The BBC One comedy, which is created by and stars 'After Life' actor Tom Basden, will be back for more episodes, with Jim Howick, Katherine Parkinson, Alison Steadman, Freya Parks, Jude Collie, Mica Ricketts and Tori Allen-Martin confirmed to reprise their roles.

The series will continue to follow the Jessops’ successes and failures as they try and navigate life’s many challenges.

Tom said: "I’m absolutely delighted to bring the relentlessly chaotic Jessop family back to BBC One for more homespun triumphs and disasters, and can’t wait to work with such a brilliant and hilarious cast once again."

Josh Cole, Head of Comedy, BBC Studios, added: "We’re thrilled that the BBC have ordered more of this ‘comic masterpiece’. The Telegraph’s words not mine, and the papers never lie.

"Tom Basden’s scripts are exceptional, we can’t wait to be back in The Jessops lives for two more series."

The sitcom originally began as a pilot called 'Pandemonium', which aired amid the coronavirus pandemic in December 2020.

A full series then aired last year, and Tom admitted he always had Katherine in mind for the role of matriarch Rachel Jessop.

Speaking last year, he said: "When I wrote the pilot I did have Katherine in mind, and with Jim and Alison, as soon as I saw them reading it I absolutely couldn't imagine anyone else doing it, they were just so perfect for those roles.

"With Cherry, Tori’s audition was so brilliant and funny that I was really excited to write more dialogue for her and suddenly had a much better handle on the character.

"Having made the pilot I could pretty much write for the for the actors and for their voices when putting the series together, which is really helpful. Within the series, there are certain roles that I wrote with specific people in mind, such as Ray for Tim Key or Frank for Mark Williams."
