Reports in the media recently have suggested that Benidorm will be making a comeback on TV.
TYoday, Derren Litten (the creator) posted on a Facebook group (that he set up and regularly answers fans questions on) the following statement:
"OK, I'll make this brief!
This rumour comes up every couple of years. I guess it's testament to how successful the show was at the time and of course hugely flattering that it's a slow news day.
So, I am very happy to discuss the facts as of today, April 7 2025 and look at some of the quotes from various online "news" outlets.
"ITV have commissioned a new series of Benidorm". - WRONG.
"Producers have started to reach out to the show’s stars" - WRONG (if the show has not yet been commissioned there are no producers).
" Derren — who has been working as a DJ in Spain" - WRONG (but I'm open to all offers of work).
"The sitcom hilariously portrayed British holidaymakers mixing with quirky staff at the Solana all-inclusive resort" - QUESTIONABLE.
Star Sherrie Hewson also dropped a hint the beloved ITV show is set to return - CORRECT I think Sherrie has done this most years since the show ended.
"ITV are planning to revive Benidorm for a full SERIES comeback later this year!" - WRONG If a new series was commissioned tomorrow there is no way on God's earth it would be on TV later this year.
Well, I hope that's cleared a few things up and some of the clever ones among might be able to read between the lines and get even more information from this. OK, now I have to go back to work, I have SO MUCH TO DO...."
MAKE OF THIS WHAT YOU WILL!!!
