Fans of our hit new comedy Spy should prepare themselves for a new mission.
Spy is returning for a bigger second series - one that will include 10 half-hour episodes and an hour long Christmas special.
Spy follows hapless single father Tim (Boyd – Case Sensitive, Holy Flying Circus), whose one aim in life is to get his precocious son Marcus (Wright) to like him. The first series saw Tim accidentally recruited into MI5, and followed his attempts to balance his secret life as a trainee agent with his chaotic domestic life.
Under the watchful eye of The Examiner (Lindsay – My Family), Tim surprised himself by successfully qualifying as a fully-fledged secret agent, although without winning the heart of his colleague Caitlin (Rebekah Staton – Pulling).
The new series will follow Tim as a newly qualified agent as he continues to keep his secret from those closest to him and attempts to win the love of his son.
Lucy Lumsden, Head of Comedy for Sky, commented: “I am delighted by the response to SPY. Finding smart yet accessible pre-watershed comedy for adults and kids to watch together is a vital part of our story on Sky 1 HD. We couldn’t have asked for a better start and are excited by the plans for the next series.”
SPY is created and written by Simeon Goulden. It is a Hat Trick production for Sky 1 HD and will be Produced by Simeon Goulden and Directed by Ben Taylor.
Spy Series 2 will air in 2012.
