G'WED: ITV CONFIRMS DATE FOR SECOND SERIES, THE VIVIENNE ANNOUNCED AS GUEST STAR

ITV have confirmed that Series 2 of hit comedy G'Wed will be available to stream from Thursday 6th February on ITVX, with it airing on ITV2 the same night. G'wed was the biggest comedy on ITVX in 2024 with its six episodes streamed 7.2 million times.

Reece (Dylan Thomas-Smith), Christopher (Jake Kenny-Byrne), Connor (Max Ainsworth), Ted (Dominic Murphy), Mo (Zak Douglas), Aimee (Amber Harrison) and Mia-Louise (Gemma Barraclough) are back to portray the lovable scousers as we explore the themes of consent, age gap relationships and the acceptable way to make money while still at school.

The Vivienne has a cameo appearance in episode 1 of the new series that sees them play a Liverpool nightclub owner who spots Ted's comedic potential and offers him a spot comparing their drag night.  This episode was filmed last Summer and will be dedicated to The Vivienne and will air with the blessing of the family honouring their special talent.

Mario Stylianides, Exec Producer of G’wed said “All the cast and crew were so saddened by the passing of The Vivienne and the first episode will now be dedicated to them. The Vivienne was a trailblazing icon and we were truly honoured when we found out they were a fan of G’wed and equally excited when they agreed to appear in the first episode of the new series. They will always be in our hearts and forever part of the G’wed family."

Nana Hughes, Head of Comedy ITV said: “It is great to see that G’wed has resonated with our audiences across ITVX, ITV1 and ITV2! Danny Kenny’s writing had us crying with laughter one second, crying real tears the next and then back to laughter. And the hugely talented cast brought so much charm and cheek to the show, we can’t wait to welcome everyone back to Liverpool for a second and third series when G’wed returns in 2025.”

Mario Stylianides, Executive Producer at Golden Path Productions Ltd comments “Comedy really is back in the building. There was so much love for G’wed from audiences far and wide. It’s great that we’ll get the chance to spend even more time exploring the joyful complicated lives of our Scouse characters.”

G'Wed returns Thursday 6th February on ITV2 and ITVX.
