James Corden and Ruth Jones have reportedly signed a brand new seven-figure deal for a Gavin And Stacey follow-up.
The pals, who reprised their roles as Smithy and Nessa in the beloved BBC comedy for its finale last Christmas, are believed to be working on new material.
James, 47, and Ruth, 58, have signed a deal that will take the new project away from the BBC and instead onto streaming platform AppleTV+.
A source close to the production revealed that 10 episodes are set to be filmed with an all British cast, with Corden and Jones also starring.
Shooting will begin next year, with the episodes not set to land until 2027.
However, the new show will not feature the iconic characters fans fell in love with on Gavin And Stacey.
Mathew Horne and Joanna Page played Gavin and Stacey, with Alison Steadman and Larry Lamb playing Gavin's parents Pam and Mick, while Rob Brydon starred as Uncle Bryn and Melanie Walters as Stacey's widowed mother Gwen West.
The insider told The Sun: 'In what has unquestionably been a pretty miserable year for Brits, there is finally something to cheer — a new James and Ruth co-production.
'As you might expect, it is uplifting, gentle and very funny.
'They wanted to bring something full of heart and warmth back to screens; water cooler moments for all the family.
'Naturally there was a lot of interest around the script and a major bidding war to land this production.
'But James already had an excellent relationship with AppleTV+.'
The source added that casting has not yet begun, but the show will focus on a new format away from Gavin And Stacey.
Daily Mail has approached representatives for James and Ruth for comment.
On Christmas Day last year, Gavin And Stacey concluded with on/off lovers Smithy and Nessa finally declaring their love for one another and tying the knot.
It marked a poignant end for the sitcom, which launched in 2007 and had last aired in 2019 when Nessa proposed to Smithy before the special ended on the cliffhanger.
In a special documentary following the emotional episode, James revealed why Gavin And Stacey could not continue.
He explained: 'Probably from the first Christmas special that we did, when Dave proposes and Smithy says, "Don't marry him", from that minute on it felt like they had to end together.
'And that's what he says in this last scene, "I know it's messy and not perfect, but that's because we're messy and not perfect".'
Last month, Mathew Horne struggled to contain his emotions after revealing a member of the crew had suddenly passed away.
The actor was being interviewed on stage at his ‘In Conversation With...’ show in Taunton, Somerset.
Mathew was talking about how the cast were all still chatting to each other on a Whatsapp group, when he became emotional.
He said: 'Sorry. I got distracted. Earlier on... we had a driver on the finale called Rob and he was in his early 40s... and I found out via the Whatsapp group earlier that he has passed away and I got slightly distracted there.
'It’s really really sad. I got distracted by losing Rob. He was a really lovely guy and he’s left a four year old behind and that is really really really sad.'
Daily Mail later revealed the crew member was a Barry Island favourite who had complained of chest pains just weeks before his death.
