The latest season of The Young Offenders, produced by Vico Films, will come to BBC One on Friday May 10th at 9.30pm.
The new series of The Young Offenders follows on from the previous three series which originally aired on BBC Three, the 2018 Christmas special which saw the show move to BBC One for the first time, and the feature film from 2016. In 2023, The Young Offenders continued to see viewing with 6.3M iPlayer requests despite no transmission.
“We’re so excited to be bringing all of the team back for the new series of The Young Offenders,” said creator and showrunner Peter Foott. “We’ve been able to change things up a little bit this time around, but the show is still true to its roots, we wanted to give the fans the same mix of funny storylines that are also heartfelt, so it’s very much the same show with all cast returning. Everyone involved is delighted with series four, and we can’t wait for people to see it and be back in the world of The Young Offenders.”
Series 2 and 3, filmed back-to-back in 2019, found an audience not only in Ireland and the UK, garnering critical acclaim globally.
