BBC comedy We Might Regret This has been renewed for two more six-part series.
The show, which launched on BBC Two in August, is inspired by the lives and experiences of its creators Kyla Harris and Lee Getty.
The BBC explains: "This 'trailblazing' (The Guardian) series, which has been hailed a watershed moment for disability representation, centres around Freya (Kyla Harris), a 30-something disabled Canadian artist, who has relocated to London for Abe (Darren Boyd), a 50-something straight-laced lawyer. Freya requires full time round the clock care from a dedicated Personal Assistant (PA), meaning a third person present for every romantic moment and domestic dispute.
"In Series 1, after struggling to find the right person for this more than intimate role, Freya invites chaotic and outspoken best-mate Jo (Elena Saurel) to take on the job. Alongside Abe's (not quite) ex-wife Jane (Sally Phillips) and wayward adult son Levi (Edward Blumel) they make a messy blended family."
Lee Getty and Kyla Harris say: "Season 1 was just the tip of the comedy iceberg and we're beyond grateful to the BBC for their continued support and commitment to exploring disability, messy relationships and unparalleled intimacy on screen."
Jon Petrie, BBC Director of Comedy, comments: "We're proud to commission more episodes of We Might Regret This. Kyla, Lee, and the team have tapped into something truly unique - crafting comedy from deeply personal moments with such sharpness and heart. There's still so much laughter to uncover in Freya's world, and we can't wait to see how they push the boundaries of comedy and character even further."
Ash Atalla from production company Roughcut notes: "A show both full of heart and close to our hearts. So happy we get to make more of this series - both complex and silly, surely the best place to be."
Series 2 and Series 3 of the comedy will be shot at a future date to be confirmed. In the meantime, Series 1 is available to catch up on via BBC iPlayer
