The second series will again be made by multi award winning Baby Cow Productions (Gavin & Stacey, Alan Partridge).
The second series will simultaneously drop as a full series box set on ITVX and air weekly on ITV1 primetime.
Reprising their roles as the Carr family for a new run of episodes are Oliver Savell (young Alan), Shaun Dooley (Graham Carr), Nancy Sullivan (Christine Carr) and Taylor Fay (Gary Carr).
Also returning are the Carr’s neighbours, the Hudsons, played by Gabby Best (Angela Hudson), Harry Peacock (Nigel Hudson) and Rourke Mooney (Charlie Hudson).
Changing Ends is based on Alan’s own life in Northampton in the 1980s growing up as the son of a fourth division football manager.
The second series picks up shortly after the first, as young Alan contends with impending puberty and feeling sidelined by his family. With Graham Carr distracted by Northampton Town FC, who are battling for promotion, can he be there for his son when he most needs him?
Sarah Monteith, Executive Producer for Baby Cow, said: “Changing Ends is a classic Baby Cow hit. Though driven by the funny and the feelgood, it has something serious to say about prejudice. Alan's writing is a masterclass in wit and wisdom.”
The series is produced by Baby Cow Productions, written by Alan Carr, co-written by Gabby Best and was co-created by the late Simon Carlyle. The director is Dave Lambert and the producer is Mollie Freedman-Berthoud. The Executive Producers are Baby Cow’s Sarah Monteith and Rupert Majendie, Alan Carr and Danny Julian.
Baby Cow is one of BBC Studios owned production labels. BBC Studios are handling the international distribution of both series, with series one selling internationally to BritBox (North America), RTE (Ireland), ABC (Australia) and TVNZ (New Zealand).
