Two Pints of Lager Revival Reportedly in the Works as Creator Regains Rights

Reports say creator Susan Nickson has reclaimed control of the sitcom, clearing the way to pitch a comeback beyond the BBC.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the original cast are open to returning, with Will Mellor and Ralf Little publicly expressing interest.
  • Mellor says a revival script titled Two Pints: Last Orders was pitched and reportedly turned down by the BBC.
  • With rights reportedly back from the BBC, the team is said to be exploring other broadcasters or streamers such as BritBox or Netflix.
  • No platform has announced a commission and the BBC has not confirmed any plans, so the project remains unconfirmed.
  • The comedy ran from 2001 to 2011 on the BBC and retains a strong fanbase that cast members cite in pushing for a return.
