ITV’s comedy-drama The Larkins is coming back for a second series later this year.
Filming has already started and will shoot throughout the summer.
TV favourite Bradley Walsh and Bafta winner Joanna Scanlan will return as the much loved Pop and Ma Larkin.
The new six-part series based on H.E. Bates’ novels, will also feature a new family, the Jerebohms.
The mother, Pinkie, played by Morgana Robinson, takes an instant dislike to the Larkins. As does the rest of the family, and they are soon at war.
