p dir=”ltr”>Following the enormous success of the first series, G’wed will return for a second series next year with its distinctive brand of heart and humour..
Reece (Dylan Thomas-Smith), Christopher (Jake Kenny-Byrne), Connor (Max Ainsworth), Ted (Dominic Murphy), Mo (Zak Douglas), Aimee (Amber Harrison) and Mia-Louise (Gemma Barraclough) are back to portray the lovable scousers as we explore the themes of consent, age gap relationships and the acceptable way to make money while still at school.
Nana Hughes, Head of Comedy ITV said: “It is great to see that G’wed has resonated with our audiences across ITVX, ITV1 and ITV2! Danny Kenny’s writing had us crying with laughter one second, crying real tears the next and then back to laughter. And the hugely talented cast brought so much charm and cheek to the show, we can’t wait to welcome everyone back to Liverpool for a second and third series when G’wed returns in 2025.”
Mario Stylianides, Executive Producer at Golden Path Productions Ltd comments “Comedy really is back in the building. There was so much love for G’wed from audiences far and wide. It’s great that we’ll get the chance to spend even more time exploring the joyful complicated lives of our Scouse characters.”
Writer Danny Kenny adds “It’s amazing and exciting that we get to do this again and I can’t wait for series 2 and 3 next year.”
The series is produced by Golden Path Productions Ltd and written by Liverpool native Danny Kenny. The Executive Producer is Mario Stylianides.
