BBC's teen sketch show to return in 2021

The BBC has ordered a second series of its teen-orientated sketch show The Amelia Gething Complex.

New episodes will be released on iPlayer next year, following the success of the first series, which came out last October and is still available. 

The surreal show is based in an alternate reality where wizards, wormholes, dinosaurs, time travel exist and is known for frequently breaking the fourth wall. Producers describe it as ‘a live action cartoon’.

Former TikTok star  Gething said: ‘I’m super excited to have a second series of the show commissioned — filming series one was such a blast and I had the best time, so I can’t wait for series 2. ‘

‘The process so far has been quite different in comparison to the first season because of quarantine (having a writers room on Zoom is very strange!) and the cast and I will have to bubble when filming which will be very different but I’m excited and delighted nonetheless.’
