Craig Cash and Ralf Little's cosy seaside comedy The Cafe is coming back for a second series.
The new series will consist of another eight 30 minutes episodes and will air in 2013.
Co-writer, Ralf Little says: “It's been amazing, and frankly a relief, to learn that The Cafe had a warm critical reception, but none of that matters if the powers that be don't have the faith to re-commission another series. Luckily for us, Stuart Murphy and Lucy Lumsden are continually supportive and have once again put their money where their mouths are. Now we just have to write it.Co-writer Michelle Terry added: "It was enough of a shock to get series one so to be given another chance is the most incredible opportunity. Now I just hope we don't balls it up."
Lucy Lumsden, Head of Comedy, Sky commented: " Enchanting and unashamedly romantic, we are delighted to be bringing back The Cafe for another series on Sky1HD".
The Cafe is set in and around a café in Weston-Super-Mare run by generational trilogy Mary (June Watson), Carol (Ellie Haddington) and Sarah (Michelle Terry). Sarah is in her late twenties and recently returned home from London as she attempts to pursue a writing career.
Many of her old school adversaries still live in the area and are frequent visitors to the café including Richard (Ralf Little), Sarah’s former childhood sweetheart, a care home assistant by day and a musician by night whose feathers are ruffled when fellow class-mate and former love rival, John (Daniel Ings), now a successful events manager in London, returns to Weston to visit his elderly mother.
The Cafe Series 2 will air in 2013
