The date has been confirmed for the second series of the acclaimed comedy This Way Up written by and starring Aisling Bea.

It will return to Channel 4 on Wednesday 14th July at 10pm. All six episodes will be available to stream on All4 afterwards.

Bea revealed the details on social media: "I fell apart, but you’d never know. Here’s the poster! #ThisWayUp series two will be out July 14th in the UK & Ireland to watch at 10PM, with the wholeeeee series dropping online that night! It will be on @hulu in AMERICA as previously announced on July 9th.

This gorgeous poster was shot and designed by super talent Luke Stephenson."

When asked if it had been photoshopped Bea joked: "Excuse me no, I would never use photo shop, as a FEMINIST."

The second series once again co-stars Sharon Horgan as Shona, the older sister of Aine, played by Bea. Aasif Mandvi plays Shona's fiance Vish and Tobias Menzies pays single dad Richard.

C4 says: "Viewers can expect more bittersweet sister-related shenanigans, including ill-advised trips to infrared saunas, and possibly another sung duet… to give the people what they want.”

This Way Up, Channel 4, 14th July,10pm. All six episodes will be available to stream on All4 straight after.

Aisling Bea is one of the guests on The Last Leg tonight (Friday, July 2)
