A follow-up to Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa is in the works following the box success of the big-screen adaptation of the popular British sitcom last year.

It took a while for the first cinematic outing for hapless Norwich radio DJ Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan)to hit our screens, so fans are bound to welcome the news of a sequel.

There will also be new television specials, to be shown on Sky Atlantic.

Film producer Henry Normal, who co-founded Coogan’s production company Baby Cow, confirmed the news during an interview with The Guardian.

He said: “We are planning a sequel to Alpha Papa, yes, that will be great. We are also looking at doing more Mid Morning Matters and another Sky special, a little bit like Coast with Alan Partridge, except I don’t think he goes out of Norfolk.

“I think it’s things of interest in Norfolk, that’s the general theme.”

The iconic character made his screen debut in the early 90s with Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge before featuring in the renowned BBC series of I’m Alan Partridge.

The show later moved to Sky Atlantic with Partridge appearing in mini-episodes of Mid Morning Matters and Welcome to the Places of My Life before eventually being made into a film in 2013.
