Friday Night Dinner to return for a sixth series on Channel 4

The comedy will return in 2020

Channel 4 has announced that Friday Night Dinner will be back for a sixth series in 2020.

The main foursome of Tamsin Greig, Paul Ritter, Simon Bird and Tom Rosenthal will all return, with shooting set to take place later this year.

Series five – which was the show’s second highest rated so far with an average audience of 1.9m – ended on a surprisingly emotional note, with the death of Jim’s dog Wilson.

In a release from Channel 4, creator and writer Robert Popper shared some ‘interesting’ info about the new episodes, although quite how many of these storylines make the final edit remains to be seen.

Friday Night Dinner series six will debut on Channel 4 in 2020
