Louis Theroux Interviews gets 2nd series

Louis Theroux is to return with a second series of 'Interviews'.

The 52-year-old documentary-maker will be back on BBC Two with a new season of his latest show, after he got up close and person with Stormzy, Dame Judi Dench, Yungblud, Bear Grylls, Katherine Ryan, and Rita Ora in the first series.

He said: "It was a huge pleasure making the first series of 'Louis Theroux Interviews' and I’m thrilled it connected with audiences and now we’re allowed to make some more.

"Massive thanks to the BBC for believing in the idea and for supporting us every step of the way. Expect more big stars, intimate access, and three times BAFTA winning excellence from yours truly."

Clare Sillery, Head of Commissioning, Documentaries, added: “It is testament to Louis’ skill and genuine curiosity about people that in a series featuring very different individuals, he was able to make such an engaging set of films.

"With a range of subjects from Dame Judi Dench to Yungblud, it is impossible to pick a favourite episode. I am so delighted he’s making more, and cannot wait to see the line-up for the next series."

In Louis' first series, Yungblud revealed his childhood was scarred by his parents' "abusive" relationship, Rita Ora gushed about her "dream" wedding, and Stormzy admitted he wants to reconcile with his father, who previously left his family to start a new one.

He said: "It’s very right that I hold this pain because of what he’s done, with him not being there.

"He’s a flawed man. His mistake was a big one. But I know he’s really sorry and he’s reached out through my mother and my sisters.

“I am going to speak to him - I now have the power to say, ‘I forgive you.’ "
