With awards on its mantelpiece and ratings on the impressive side, ITV has confirmed that it’s pressing ahead with a fourth series of Plebs. That much has been known for some time.

According to the blurb we’ve just been sent, the comedy series is “the highest rated British scripted comedy on multichannel”, and now we’ve learned that filming on the new series of the show kicks off this week.

Full casting and details of new storylines will be revealed closer to the transmission of the fourth series. That isn’t scheduled until Spring of 2018, though.

Plebs is overseen by Tom Basden, Caroline Leddy, Sam Leifer and Teddy Leifer. And that picture at the top? It’s the one that’s just been released to mark the start of series 4 filming.
