The popular comedy is written by and stars Sian Gibson and Peter Kay as supermarket employees John and Kayleigh who found themselves thrown together as part of the company car share scheme.

Originally launching on BBC iPlayer in 2015, the series was a huge success, becoming the most watched new sitcom since 2011. It also won Best Scripted Comedy at the BAFTA Television Awards, while Peter Kay took home an award for Best Male Performance in a Comedy.

At the end of the last series there was a slight flash of romance between John and Kayleigh as their chemistry grew over the series.

Peter Kay said it was “a joy to be working on the second series of Car Share with the wonderful Sian Gibson.”

The new four-part series will begin in 2017 and will premiere in its entirety on BBC iPlayer.
