Show creator, writer and executive producer Derren Litten said: “When I wrote the first script of ‘Benidorm’ I had no idea it would change my life so dramatically over the next 10 years.
“As I put the finishing touches to the 74th episode I am so grateful to our fans and to ITV for giving ‘Benidorm’ the best possible home we could hope for. Here’s to the next 10 years!”
And Saskia Schuster, ITV’s Comedy Commissioner, added: “‘Benidorm’ is very much part of the ITV family with viewers taking these wonderful characters to their hearts.
“Show creator, writer and exec producer Derren Litten has some great plans for the tenth series and it’s a real treat to welcome Hale & Pace and Shane Richie to the Solana resort.”
Joyce Temple Savage (Sherrie Hewson), Mateo (Jake Canuso), Liam (Adam Gillen), Kenneth (Tony Maudsley) and Jacqueline (Janine Duvitski) will all be returning.
