ITV has recommissioned detective drama Lewis for a new series.

The broadcaster has ordered four new episodes of the Inspector Morse spinoff.

Controller of drama commissioning Sally Haynes said: "Lewis is always one of the highlights of the year on ITV1 and features not only a great partnership between Lewis and Hathaway but some great plot lines and twists that keep the audience gripped.

"I'm thrilled it's returning and I know our viewers will be too."

The series will see Kevin Whately and Laurence Fox reprise their crimesolving partnership of Inspector Robbie Lewis and DS Hathaway.

Executive producer Damien Timmer confirmed that Stephen Churchett, Russell Lewis and Alan Plater would return to write the new episodes.

Inspector Morse creator Colin Dexter will again work as a consultant on the series.
