When asked by Ed Boles about the show’s future, the actress revealed:
She later added: “That would be nice, I know Derek. [Jacobi] i talk to sara [Lancashire]I don’t know about Nikola [Walker]she said, “I think a Christmas special would be nice.”
Season 5 of the fan-favorite show, which also starred Josh Bolt, aired in 2020 after a slight delay after writer Sally Wainwright struggled to find time to write the final season.

Writer Sally has previously spoken candidly about the show, explaining that the show is loosely based on her mother’s subsequent relationship experiences with a former school friend.
Sally’s mother Dorothy meets her partner Alec on Friends reunited after 60 years.
