Michelle Keegan’s hit comedy lands SEVENTH series – and it starts filming this year
MICHELLE Keegan’s runaway success comedy show has been handed a seventh series amid stellar reviews.
The brunette beauty is among the leading cast for the hit Sky series Brassic which has been one of the channel’s most popular shows.
In a huge boost to the show, the seventh series has been commissioned before the sixth edition has even begun.
Series six of the programme will make its debut later this year after Michelle’s co-star Joe Gilgun picked up a nomination at the TV BAFTAs earlier this year.
With series six already filmed and wrapped, production on the seventh edition is expected to commence this Autumn.
It will also include the show’s landmark 50th episode – a huge feat for the critically acclaimed series.
Speaking of landing a seventh series, the programme’s co-creator Danny Brocklehurst said: “’Season seven! How did this happen?!? Brassic is a delight to make and it’s a privilege to create more chaos for our loyal and loving audience.”
The Sky original series has won legions of fans thanks to its hilarious take on a group of friends all living in the North West.
Joe leads the show as Vinnie alongside Michelle who portrays the fiery and attractive Erin Croft.
Brassic made its debut in 2019 and has so far broadcast a total of 37 episodes.
It marks one of Michelle’s biggest roles since her memorable stint in Coronation Street as Tina McIntyre.
Michelle has previously expressed her delight at being able to remain in work following her soap exit thanks to a slew of other roles alongside Brassic including Ten Pound Poms and Fool Me Once.
Michelle told Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast: “I came into this industry quite late, I was 19 when I started in Corrie, and I went to the audition purely as an experience.
“I never thought in a million years I’d get it.
“So, for me, I feel lucky when I get any job.
“When the job doesn’t come in, or it’s a no, I think, ‘Well, that job wasn’t for me’. And I move on.
“I don’t take it as a personal attack, thank God.”
Thankfully for the star, she seems unlikely to be out of a job any time soon thanks to Brassic’s upcoming series as well as another edition of Ten Pound Poms under way as well as rumours that Michelle is leading another new Netflix series from Fool Me Once creator Harlan Coben.
