Season two of Vicious will kick off on PBS on Sunday, August 23, 2015 at 10:30pm ET/PT. Sir Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi return in starring roles, with Ed Bye directing and series creator Gary Janetti executive producing and serving as showrunner.
In addition to McKellen and Jacobi, the cast of season two also includes Frances de la Tour, Iwan Rheon, Marcia Warren, and Philip Voss. Vicious features McKellen as Freddie and Jacobi as Stuart and finds the two “delivering more biting remarks, snide comments and cruel asides. Joined by friends Violet (de la Tour), Ash (Rheon), Penelope (Warren), Mason (Voss) and surprise guest characters, the men embark on another season of humorous mishaps, hideous break-ups and heart-warming make-ups.”
Season two of the ITV British sitcom will consist of six new episodes.
“PBS is excited to bring the series back for another hilarious and snarky season,” stated Beth Hoppe, Chief Programming Executive and General Manager, General Audience Programming, PBS. “Ian and Derek’s undeniable chemistry and feisty wit truly make the show easy to love… even when it’s ‘vicious’.”
