Channel 4 has confirmed it will show two more series of BAFTA-winning Shameless and may increase the number of episodes in each.
Producers have said a fourth series of the drama will air in January and a fifth at a later date. They are also considering setting up a permanent set for the show - but have not yet found a suitable site.
"They're working on the fourth series at the moment," a spokeswoman for the channel told BBC News. "The fifth series is definitely in the pipeline, and it's under discussion as to whether we'll increase it to more than eight episodes.
"The production team are looking around Manchester at new studio space but they haven't found anywhere or signed on the dotted line."
The series, created by Paul Abbott, follows the lives of Frank Gallagher and his six children.
