Beloved Sitcom ‘Gavin & Stacey’ Set to Return with Christmas 2024 Special

The beloved sitcom ‘Gavin and Stacey‘ is gearing up for a highly anticipated return with a Christmas 2024 special, as reported by Deadline.

The new episode, currently in development, is set to be produced by a collaborative effort involving Steve Coogan‘s Baby Cow Productions, Jones’ Tidy Productions, and Fulwell 73, which boasts James Corden as a co-owner.

Following the cliffhanger ending of the last episode, viewers have been eagerly awaiting news of the show’s potential comeback.

A report suggests that filming for the new installment is expected to commence later this year in preparation for a festive 2024 broadcast.

‘Gavin and Stacey’ revolves around a charming young couple from Billericay, Essex, and Barry Island, Wales, and features an ensemble cast portraying their eccentric families.

The series’ 2019 special concluded with a pivotal moment as Nessa, portrayed by Jones, proposed to Smithy, played by Corden, on Christmas Day, leaving audiences hanging on the edge of their seats.

Notable cast members including Matthew Horne, Joanna Page, Rob Brydon, Melanie Walters, Julia Davis, Alison Steadman, and Larry Lamb are expected to reprise their roles for the upcoming special.

This development comes on the heels of Corden’s return to the UK following his tenure on the Late Late Show in the US, sparking renewed speculation among fans about the sitcom’s revival.

The news of ‘Gavin and Stacey’s’ comeback coincided with a reunion of cast members Page and Steadman on ‘This Morning,’ reigniting excitement among loyal followers of the beloved show.

In a reflection on the potential return, Steadman expressed her enthusiasm for another special, teasing the possibility of revisiting the iconic characters on screen once again.

While previous denials from Jones had quashed hopes for more episodes, the current landscape, with Corden back in the UK and recent developments, has rekindled the prospect of revisiting the beloved series.
