Miranda Hart has revealed that her hit BBC self-titled comedy is going to return after a seven year break.

However, she has now confirmed that she has written a fourth series for the show which first aired in 2009. 

Miranda told The Sun: ‘A lot of lovely people have kept on asking for the return of Miranda so here we are and I hope everyone likes it.’

Reportedly, a live tour was also being planned for the hit BBC sitcom that followed a women called Miranda who was desperate to fit into society and find a man. 

The comedy also starred Tom Ellis, Patricia Hodge, Sarah Hadland and Sally Phillips but it is not yet confirmed who will be returning.

Last year, Miranda told The Gaby Roslin podcast that she was ‘definitely thinking about’ reviving her comedy programme.

At the time, the comedian said: ‘When you create characters like that, that you’ve lived with for a long time, they do become part of you.

‘I do think of them from time to time, a bit like you would a friend that you haven’t seen for a while, “Oh, what would they be up to”.

‘And so I’ve definitely had some thoughts of where they might be and what would happen with them all.

‘The circumstances haven’t quite aligned. But it is something that I would say that I’m now not ruling out.

‘Whereas a couple of years after it had finished, I completely ended it and that was that.’

The BBC has not yet confirmed if it will screen the new series of Miranda.

In 2020, BBC’s Big Night In viewers rejoiced as Miranda reunited with her former co-stars for a special sketch during the fundraiser.

Miranda, who was playing her titular character, told viewers lockdown suits her, with flashbacks showing scenes from the sitcom which prove she’s best left indoors.

This included walking in on her parents ‘naughty knitting evening’, and entertaining herself in a variety of unique ways while around the house.

During the skit, Miranda was caught short as she spoke to a mop with Gary’s [Tom] face on it, and told him she knew that she was beautiful. 

However moments later Gary appeared on the screen for a Zoom call and he questioned what she was up to and whether that was his face.
