‘Gavin & Stacey’ duo Corden and Jones to write new sitcom together

Gavin & Stacey creators James Corden and Ruth Jones are reportedly set to write a new sitcom together for Apple TV+.

The pair famously created and co-starred in the BBC sitcom, which came to an end last Christmas with a one-off special.

It is now being reported by The Sun that Corden and Jones will create and star in a new 10-part UK-set comedy-drama which will feature an all-British cast.

Apart from the series being described as “uplifting” and “full of heart”, further details remain under wraps for now – though the show will apparently start filming next year for a 2027 release date.

The site reports that Apple TV+ won a streamer bidding war, with the deal reportedly worth around £8million.

The news comes ahead of Corden and Jones reuniting later this year for a talk in London reflecting on the creation and success of Gavin & Stacey.

Taking place at the Palladium in October, When Gavin Met Stacey: An Evening With Ruth Jones And James Corden comes as the pair release a new book on the show called When Gavin Met Stacey and Everything In Between.

“Full of revelations and never-before-heard stories, this is a one-of-a-kind event about a show that’s already gone down in history,” the event description says.

“Join the duo as they recount the rejection, obstacles and challenges they faced on the way to giving birth to their beloved comedy creation, Ruth and James also explore the flourishing of their own real-life friendship.”

Last year’s Gavin & Stacey finale broke the record for the UK’s most-watched scripted show across all broadcasters since records began in 2002.

Jones has also confirmed that the episode was very much the end of the series, telling the Big Issue ahead of the episode airing last year: “I guarantee we will definitely not be coming back.”
