ITV 'set to make a decision' on The Larkins after the first series

ITV is said to have made a decision on whether a second series of The Larkins will go ahead.

Set in the late 1950s, The Larkins follows wheeler-dealer Pop Larkin ( Bradley Walsh ) and his wife Ma (Joanna Scanlan), together with their six children, including the beautiful Mariette (Sabrina Bartlett), as they bask in their idyllic and beautiful patch of paradise in Kent.

Fiercely loyal to each other and their community, there’s an overwhelming sense of plenty in their lives and a lot of joy and raucous laughter.

With an endless supply of delicious, hearty meals alongside the odd cocktail or two, the Larkins are always happy to share what they have with others, despite the fact that what they have is sometimes obtained by unusual means.

Sadly their good-heartedness is not always shared by certain members of the local community and village gossip (particularly from the Normans) about Pop and his family is often rife.

The final episode of the six-part drama will air on ITV this weekend and fans will no doubt hope to see it return to the screens sooner rather than later.

Around four million viewers have tuned in to watch every episode of the series, which airs on ITV at 8pm on Sunday nights.

Bradley Walsh has already confirmed that filming for the Christmas Special has already taken place at locations in Kent.

And according to KentLive, it is now also being reported that a follow-up second series could be filmed as early as next year after the first series proved a hit with the viewers.
