The BBC has confirmed that a brand new full series of Two Doors Down is in the works.
In 2025, a Christmas special was released, two years after the death of the show’s co-creator Simon Carlyle at the age of 48.
The episode was penned solely by Gregor Sharp, who said at the time: ‘I think we all felt we wanted to make sure that Simon would have approved, adding: ‘The togetherness that everyone’s shown has really helped us all just get through it and it’s made this quite a happy and joyous experience to be back together again.’
Now, it has been announced that series eight is officially on the way, with Sharp saying in a new statement: ‘It was a lot of fun putting the band back together for the Christmas episode last year, so I’m really excited to be coming back with some new tunes, which we hope will turn out just as special.
‘The cast are the most talented group of performers you could wish for, and I can’t wait to get started.’
The eighth season will follow on directly from last year’s one-off Christmas episode, with returning members including Arabella Weir as Beth, Alex Norton as Eric, Jonathan Watson as Colin, Doon Mackichan as Cathy and Elaine C Smith as Christine.
Joy McAvoy will also be back as Michelle, with Kieran Hodgson as Gordon, Graeme Stevely as Alan and Jamie Quinn as Ian.
