British television fans can celebrate as the UK's favourite artificial intelligence returns to screens. The BBC has formally confirmed that *Ann Droid*, the smash hit sci-fi sitcom created by and starring comedy icon Diane Morgan, will be returning for a second installment. The hilarious series premiered to staggering numbers, pulling in an impressive 7.6 million viewers across its initial broadcast run. That massive audience cemented the Boffola Pictures production as one of the public broadcaster’s most successful original comedy launches in recent history. ## Will There Be An Ann Droid Season 2? Yes, the executive team at the BBC made the decision after the first batch of episodes became an instant cultural talking point. The story follows a self-help robot programmed to assist humans with their chaotic everyday lives, leading to endless deadpan misunderstandings and bizarre domestic scenarios. Morgan crafted the project alongside fellow writer and comedian Sarah Kendall. Their comedic chemistry on the page translated into huge linear ratings and iPlayer streaming spikes, making a follow-up season a total no-brainer for network executives. ## Who Stars In Ann Droid On The BBC? Diane Morgan anchors the series in the title role, bringing her trademark bone-dry delivery to the artificial assistant. Fans of the comedian previously fell in love with her work on beloved projects like *Motherland* and her viral mockumentary persona Philomena Cunk in *Cunk on Earth*. Co-writer Sarah Kendall also collaborates behind the scenes to craft the show's signature satirical tone. Production details and broadcast dates for the second season are expected to be unveiled later this year as script development gets underway. With television audiences currently obsessed with futuristic tech stories, Morgan's sharp comedic take on modern artificial intelligence came at the absolute perfect moment. Viewers can prepare for even more robotic nonsense when the new episodes finally drop.
