ITV has recommissioned Changing Ends, the autobiographical comedy starring Alan Carr, for a second series.
ITV’s Head of Comedy, Nana Hughes:
“The love for Changing Ends on ITVX has blown us away, Alan & Simon, the cast and crew created a brilliant series 1 and it’s so good to see viewers are really enjoying this new comedy. Just as the second series starts its production, the first series will have its linear TV premiere in Spring 2024 on ITV1.”
Changing Ends is based on Alan’s own life in Northampton in the 1980’s growing up as the son of a fourth-division football manager. The first series launched on ITVX earlier this year and has attracted more viewers than any other comedy on the platform this year.
The six-episode second series will again be made by Baby Cow Productions the company behind other hit shows such as Gavin & Stacey (BBC) and Alan Partridge (BBC).
Filming will commence on the second series early next year and it is expected to drop on ITVX in the summer of 2024. The series is written by Alan Carr and was co-created with the late Simon Carlyle.
Alan Carr:
“Looks like we’re heading back to Northampton!! Absolutely buzzing that Changing Ends is back for a second series firstly because who doesn’t love a recommission but secondly on a completely selfish level I have so many more stories from my teenage years growing up in Northampton to tell, about me, my family, my neighbours and believe it or not football! Shocker!.”
