Comedy costume drama Hunderby is to return to Sky Atlantic with a two-hour Christmas special. Sky has announced that filming due to commence this Spring.

It had previously been reported that there would be no more episodes, but the special of the series, created by  Julia Davis, is expected to wrap up some of the loose ends. Set in an isolated rural parish in the early 1800s, Hunderby is a twisted Austen world of doomed romance, closet homosexuality and accidental incest.

In an interview with The Guardian Zai Bennett, the head of Sky Atlantic, has also said that Julia Davies will be working on something new for them for 2016 and that Alan Partridge will be returning to the channel in the future.
