Changing Ends, a British comedy series based on the early years of comedy icon Alan Carr is currently available to watch as a boxset on ITVX and weekly on ITV1.
The first season has proven popular with many so naturally, there is hope a second season of the show will air at some point.
But will there be a Changing Ends Season 2? Here’s what we know:
What is Changing Ends about?
Changing Ends stars Oliver Scavell as the younger Alan. The experiences he goes through in the series are reflective of the real-life experiences of Alan Carr, such as a run-in with homophobic bullies at school and his first foray into stage comedy.
The series is set in the 80s so you can expect lots of references to that period, from popular TV shows of the time to such things as video tapes, audio cassettes, and fax machines.
Changing Ends is only 6 episodes long so is easily binge-watchable. To learn more about the show, check out our Changing Ends Season 1 review.
Has Changing Ends been renewed for Season 2?
Yes! The filming for Season 2 has already wrapped and as Alan revealed here, the series will return this summer. At the time of writing, we don’t have an official release date. However, we expect a July or August release for Season 2.
Speaking about the show, ITV’s Head of Comedy, Nana Hughes said:
“The love for Changing Ends on ITVX has blown us away, Alan and Simon, the cast and crew created a brilliant series one and it’s so good to see viewers are really enjoying this new comedy. Just as the second series starts its production, the first series will have its linear TV premiere in spring 2024 on ITV1.” (source)
It’s believed Season 2 will consist of 6 episodes. These will likely arrive as a boxset on ITVX before they are aired weekly on ITV1 at a later date.
What could Changing Ends Season 2 be about?
Unsurprisingly, the second season will be mostly about Alan – it is based on his life experiences, after all! We don’t have any major plot details at this point but from what Alan has said, Season 2 will be very similar to the first.
Reacting to the recommission, Alan said:
“Looks like we’re heading back to Northampton!! Absolutely buzzing that Changing Ends is back for a second series firstly because who doesn’t love a recommission but secondly on a completely selfish level I have so many more stories from my teenage years growing up in Northampton to tell, about me, my family, my neighbours and believe it or not football! Shocker!” (source)
