BBC Three will air a second series of comedy thriller Wreck in 2023, it has been announced.
The show, which premiered earlier this month, is set on a huge cruise ship and follows 19-year-old Jamie (Oscar Kennedy) who is posing as a crew member in order to investigate the disappearance of his sister while she was on board.
"I'm really thrilled to be serving up another slice of Wreck," said creator Ryan J Brown. "We'll be back, bigger and bloodier in 2023.
"To have BBC Three's confidence in us reaffirmed is the best feeling. I've always had big plans for where our story could go and to fully realise that is an honour.
"At its heart Wreck is a story about a group of underdogs fighting back and achieving the impossible and in some ways it felt like that when making series one, our immense ambition meant we were up against it, but our cast and crew lead by our fearless director, Chris Baugh, powered through in an inspiring way. To see all of our hard work pay off is a privilege and I can't wait to do it again."
BBC Three controller Fiona Campbell said: "What a joy it's been to see Wreck sail onto BBC Three in all of its bloodcurdling brilliance.
"After that ending to series one I'm delighted that we won't have to wait too long to find out what comes next for Jamie, Vivian and their fellow survivors of Quacky The Duck."
The new six-episode series will be filmed in Northern Ireland in early 2023. body check tags ::
