C4 orders more Raised By Wolves

Caitlin and Caz Moran’s comedy Raised by Wolves has been committed for a second series.

Another six episodes about the sisters’ unconventional Wolverhampton upbringing will by shot this autumn and air next year.

The series will introduce a new character: the girls’ dad, who was about to return at the end of series one – but the part has not yet been cast.

Caitlin Moran said: ‘Our mission from God (copyright The Blues Brothers) continues with series two of Raised by Wolves, in which strong working class women continue to be as weird, unpleasant and amazing as men.’

Caz added: ‘I am mega-stoked we are putting the band back together. This is truly bostin’ news. I have assembled the giant box of bananas, the fingerless gloves and the Mad Max: Fury Road soundtrack I will need to get me through the writing process and will now seal myself into the comedy creation bunker. Big up Channel 4!’

The first series attracted an average of 1.3million viewers, making it Channel 4’s second highest-rating comedy of the year so far.

Fiona McDermott, a C4 comedy commissioning editor, said: ‘We are delighted to welcome the wolves back into the Channel 4 den. Della’s brood are one of the most original and refreshingly funny families to be on our screens for a long time, we can’t wait to see what these “Midland twats’” get up to in series two.’
