ITV has confirmed that The Larkins will return for season two later this year.
The original drama series, starring Sir David Jason, Pam Ferris and Catherine Zeta-Jones, follows the Larkin family, a working-class Kent family from the 1950s with six children led by Pop (Sir David) and his wife Ma (Pam).
In October 2021, the first series – also known as the latest adaptation of H E Bates’ novel The Darling Buds of May – premiered on the channel, with actor Bradley Walsh succeeding Sir David as Pop Larkin.
Chase presenter and Bafta-winning actress Joanna Scanlan will return as the iconic and much-loved Pop & Ma Larkin.
Elsewhere, Joelle Rae will take on the role of Mariette Charlton for the new series, after Sabrina Bartlett decided to leave the program in February.
Fans will be introduced to Jerebohms, a new family that is soon at war with the Larkin family.
