‘Birds of a Feather’ renewed for second series on ITV
By Sam Rigby
Birds of a Feather
has been recommissioned by ITV.
The comedy will return for an eleventh overall series, and its second on the channel, following the success of the show’s revival.
Bird of a Feather – which stars Pauline Quirke, Linda Robson and Lesley Joseph – returned at the beginning of the year, and has attracted up to 9.5 million viewers on Thursday evenings.
Original writer Maurice Gran said: “We’re delighted Birds of a Feather was such a success on ITV and really pleased to be asked to write another series. We hope the further adventures of Sharon, Tracey and Dorien will continue to thrill audiences young and old.”
Elaine Bedell, ITV’s Director of Comedy and Entertainment, added: “We’re very pleased that the brilliant chemistry between these three great actresses once again attracted the large and loyal audience that Birds of A Feather deserves.
“The writers and producers have done a fantastic job in making the show feel funny, fresh and relevant.”
ITV has not confirmed when the new series of Birds of a Feather will be broadcast.
