On 25 January 2020, it was announced that the show would be returning for a second series.[2] On 30 April 2020, it was reported that they were considering filming the new series without an audience due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.[3] It was later announced on 17 August 2020 that filming would begin on 14 September with safety precautions in place.[4]
