Lister, Rimmer, Kryten and Cat will be returning in two more series of Red Dwarf, Dave has announced. Red Dwarf XI and Red Dwarf XII begin production this autumn and are due to air on the channel in 2016 and 2017.

 

The last time fans were treated to fresh episodes of the cult sci-fi comedy was in 2012 with the six-part Red Dwarf X, a follow-up to 2009's Red Dwarf: Back to Earth, Dave’s first foray into scripted comedy commissions. Back to Earth saw more than 2.6 million viewers tuning in to catch up with the four hapless space explorers as they returned to the small screen for the first time since the BBC series ended a decade earlier.

 

In order to film the series, Craig Charles has had to leave 'Coronation Street'.

Time for more vindaloo and orange juice... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Yay! The last series of 6 was unexpectedly good and an improvement on the final series or 2 on the Beeb
