'Delicious' Returns For Series Two

It has been confirmed that Sky 1 drama 'Delicious' is to return later this year for a second series.

The show stars Dawn French and Emilia Fox as they become involved in a tale of love, sex, deceit and betrayal. The new series will see Dan Sefton return as writer, Clare Kilner as director and creators Bandit Television, part of Endemol Shine Group, for Sky 1.

Dawn French said: "I am utterly delighted that there will be more of Delicious. It is that rare thing where everything from every department comes together well, and Dan is already cooking up some remarkable storylines. I can't wait to be back in Gina's apron, up to my elbows in flour and up to my neck in trouble. Bring it on."

Emilia Fox added: "I am absolutely thrilled that there is going to be a second helping of Delicious. It was a delight to work on in every way and the response from the audience was such a joy. I can't wait to be back working with Dawn and the wonderful cast and crew on more Delicious storylines from Dan. Thank you to Sky for inviting us back."

Adam MacDonald, Director of Sky 1, said: "Delicious delivered our largest average audience for a Sky 1 original drama in 2016, so we knew we had to put it back on the menu. Viewers can expect more love, more lies and more lip-smacking dishes to be served up next time around."

Delicious was commissioned by Adam MacDonald, director of Sky 1 and Anne Mensah, Sky's Head of Drama. It will be executive produced by Phillippa Giles for Bandit Television and Anna Ferguson for Sky, and will be distributed by Endemol Shine International.
