After an acclaimed first run and a fittingly gripping finale, The Split's Manchester-based spin-off has officially been renewed by the BBC for a second season.
Not only that but the South Asian-led drama has been praised for its authentic representation – a deliberate investment into a "new audience" as The Split's Abi Morgan put it previously in an exclusive chat with Radio Times.
So, it's safe to say that fans were anticipating a renewal but, as ever, you can't quite predict these things. Born from the world of The Split, Ursula Rani Sarma took over the helm of the new spin-off, which centres on the Kishan family.
On the renewal announcement, Sarma said: "I'm absolutely delighted with the response to The Split Up. It means so much to see audiences embrace a family whose story reflects the diversity of our world.
The renewal realises a hope Sarma had previously shared with Radio Times, telling us that her dream was to let the Kishans breathe across at least three seasons and that she already had ideas for where their stories could go next while writing the first run.

"For me, and my fellow EP, Bryony Arnold, working with Abi Morgan and Ursula Rani Sarma has been such a joy, and our remarkable cast have brought these characters to life with real humour and heart. We're incredibly proud of the whole team and thrilled to be working with the BBC on a second series, there's plenty of unfinished business at Kishan Law."

On top of Dhruv's health concerns, there was also the small matter of forged identity that fans were rocked with in the finale – a mighty fine jumping-on point for season 2, we say!
