ITV has confirmed that The John Bishop Show is to return for an end-of-year special, followed by a second series in 2023.
The network says: "After completing a hugely successful sold-out arena tour and starring in the latest series of Doctor Who, John is back for six more shows bringing viewers a mix of his trademark everyman stand-up, reviewing the week's events and shooting the breeze with some very special celebrity guests from the world of film, TV, music and sport."
Series 1 was broadcast on Saturday evenings in January and February of this year.
The new series will be preceded by The John Bishop End Of Year Show, a special described as "an irreverent look back at 2022".
Bishop comments: "I was delighted with the response to the first series. It was great to give viewers a Saturday night show that offered an entertaining mix of comedy, interesting guests and topical discussion. I can't wait to do another series. And before that, I'm really looking forward to my end of year show - but its been such a quiet year, I don't know what I will talk about..!"
Commissioner Katie Rawcliffe comments: "We are thrilled to have John back at the helm bringing his energy to the jam-packed bumper schedule on Saturday nights on ITV. With his comedic brilliance and captivating style, I can't wait to see what he has up his sleeve."
