Best loved Welsh comedy Gavin and Stacey is set to return to TV screens after five years away for another Christmas special.

Here’s what’s occurring, a Gavin and Stacey Christmas special is officially ‘in the works’ and is expected to land on screens this festive season.

According to a new report, the beloved TV show will be returning for a Christmas special, with actors including James Corden and Ruth Jones set to be in the cast once again.

Filming for the one-off episode is due to take place in the summer, according to Deadline, who broke the news of the show’s comeback.

The last time the beloved BBC series aired was for another festive special in December 2019, where the episode saw Nessa (Ruth Jones) get down on one knee and propose to Smithy (James Corden).

But it ended on a cliffhanger and left fans wanting more as they wondered what happened to them next.

Well hopefully, viewers will soon be able to tune in to find out if they got their happily ever after or not.

The show will be produced by Steve Coogan’s Baby Cow, Jones’ Tidy Productions and Fulwell 73, which is co-owned by Corden. 

It has aired on the BBC for almost two decades and the last Christmas special was the most-watched show in a decade with more than 18 million viewers.

It is understood that James, 45, and Ruth, 57, had been discussing another Gavin and Stacey just last year.

According to Deadline, the majority of the main cast are likely to reprise their roles as well, despite cast members expressing doubts of a return in the future.

As of yet, further details about the reported special remain under wraps, so stay tuned for more updates.
