Staged, the sitcom starring David Tennant and Michael Sheen, is to return for a third series, this time on BritBox.
The six new half-hour episodes will be available on the streaming platform from 24th November as a box set, alongside the first two series and a new behind-the-scenes special.
The streaming platform confirms: “The award-winning series, starring David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Georgia Tennant and Anna Lundberg will return to our screens with some seasonal good cheer and its usual healthy dose of squabbling.”
Created by Simon Evans and Phin Glynn, Staged launched on BBC One in June 2020, reflecting the country being in coronavirus lockdown. A second series followed in January 2021, with extended versions of its six episodes available exclusively through BritBox.
The Staged special “features not only mistakes and outtakes but it also shows how the show itself was found. From experiments in how to film the show to playing with the idea of who and what the characters would be, it’s a unique look back at a unique show produced at the most unique of times.”
Meanwhile Series 3 sees life back to normal for David and Michael: “They have moved on from lockdown and returned to their everyday working life, while Simon’s career remains stagnant.
“His phone does ring, but only to ask if he can get David and Michael back together; and they’ve made it clear they want nothing more to do with him. But Christmas is approaching, and Simon hopes the warmth of the season might soften them to the idea of a radio version of a Christmas classic…but that’s as far as Simon’s plan has got!”
