As was exclusively revealed on DS last month, the new series will continue where the previous one left off. Companion series Echo Beach has been axed, but a clause in the contract of executive producer Jonathan Pope - a role reprised by Ben Miller - requires ITV to offer him a pilot to produce.
The pilot, for a "ridiculous" thriller spoof, sees Brook and Dale star as passengers on board an aeroplane attacked by zombies. Titled Renaissance, it will air as a one-off special either on ITV1 or online; however, no airdate has yet been confirmed.
