DERREN Litten, creator of the legendary series Benidorm has teased an epic revival of the ITV comedy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This comes five years after the show was axed from the screens.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

From the moment it first aired in 2006, Benidorm became a firm favourite among ITV viewers, allowing them a brief escape to sunny Spain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Produced by Tiger Aspect, Benidorm went from strength to strength, winning several NTAs and bagging a BAFTA nomination. However, the show was eventually cancelled by ITV and aired its final episode in 2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When the TV ended, Derren went on to helm the theatre show Benidorm Live from 2019 to 2018, before moving on to a new sitcom, Scarborough, which aired on the BBC.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Derren\u2019s new comedy, which starred himself alongside Catherine Tyldesley and Jason Manford, only lasted one season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He hasn\u2019t written anything else since, and his fans, who still haven\u2019t let go of Benidorm, are hoping he\u2019s planning a return to the Solana Resort.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After streaming old episodes of Benidorm on ITVX, one fan took to X, formerly Twitter, to put out a call for more episodes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWould be great to see new episodes,\u201d they said, before adding: \u201cDerren Litten surely living in Benners you have plenty of stories you could pen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Derren was quick the respond to the fans comments, revealing that Benidorm could definitely return to screens.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI don\u2019t live in Benidorm but I live fairly close by,\u201d before teasing: \u201cI have more stories for another 74 episodes; if ITV wants them, they know where I am!\u201d<\/p>\n

Benidorm fans were quick to respond to his statement in the comments below.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One said; \u201cPlease, please, please do more.\u201d<\/p>\n

A second added: \u201cSomeone better give the people what they want,\u201d tagging both ITV and Netflix in their post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a third fan suggested a possible name for the series, hailing it as \u201cBenidorm: The Next Generation.\u201d<\/p>\n

During its 13 years on screen, Benidorm has been home to plenty of popular stars.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some of its famous alums include Killing Eve\u2019s Steve Pemberton, who held a main role in the show for over half of its run, and Sheridan Smith, the star of the upcoming survival thriller The Castaways.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In later years, Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham and EastEnders favourite Danny Walters also had main roles in the comedy series.<\/p>\n
