Viewers will follow the family visiting Gorka's home in Spain, all while Gemma is busy promoting the launch of her children's book Dogs Don't Dance and planning her return to work after maternity leave.

Gorka is very busy as well, having just come off competing with Nikita Kanda on the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing and is now working on new projects.

On returning for more Life Behind the Lens, Gemma and Gorka said: "We’re excited to be back on your screens with W for our second series. The messages we received, and are still receiving from the first series, have blown us away. We’re glad so many families can relate to ours and the crazy, wonderful, and exhausting world of parenthood!”

UKTV's Helen Nightingale added: "I’m so excited to have Gemma and Gorka back on our screens for a second series. Their warm and relatable relationship, and hilariously unfiltered moments from series one, have left audiences wanting more and I can’t wait to see what else the family have in store for us in this next instalment.”

Gemma and Gorka: Life Behind the Lens will air on W and UKTV Play later in 2024, with all of the previous episodes available to stream right now.
