This announcement confirms the news preempted by The Mirror in February, which indicated the show’s return for a Christmas special on BBC One.

Until then, the creators of the series had denied rumors of a new episode. Ruth Jones even mentioned in a radio interview that news of a possible dispute between BBC and Netflix was false, explaining that a lunch in London with Corden had sparked the speculations.

Similarly, other cast members like Alison Steadman and Larry Lamb maintained a cautious stance, stating they hadn’t received scripts and nothing was confirmed about the series’ continuation.





Despite the previous uncertainty, it is now official that “Gavin and Stacey” will return for a Christmas special. The series’ last TV appearance was five years ago, and since then, fans have eagerly awaited closure to the series, especially after Nessa, played by Ruth Jones, proposed to Smithy, played by James Corden.

Expectations for this new episode are high, as the 2019 Christmas special was the most-watched program in a decade, with over 18 million viewers.
