Deadline: ITV Returns For More ‘Piglets’

Story from Deadline:

UK network ITV has commissioned a second season of police sitcom Piglets.

Filming on a six-part season is underwat at Monicker Pictures after Season 1 became one of streamer ITVX’s biggest comedies with a total reach so far of 5.6 million.

ITV Head of Scripted Comedy Nana Hughes commissioned the show, which follows six very different would-be cops.

Sarah Parish and Mark Heap reprise their roles as no-nonsense Superintendent Julie Spry and benign Superintendent Bob Weekes.

Joining them will be Chief Superintendent Cunningham (Colin McFarlane), anal Head of Admin Melanie (Rebecca Humphries) ever-angry police trainer Daz (Ricky Champ) and the returning police trainees themselves, officious Afia (Halema Hussain), wannabe actor Dev (Abdul Sessay), ‘prune in the nest’ Paul (Jamie Bisping) and reluctant wise owl Geeta (Sukh Kaur Ojla).

Madelyn Smedley and Kerr Logan are joining the cast as two new recruits.

ITV Studios has international distribution rights.
