Created by This Is England actor Joe Gilgun and Shameless writer Danny Brocklehurst, the comedy follows a group of cash-strapped working class friends living in the fictional Lancashire village of Hawley.

The series will be broadcast on Sky, which said: "Thrilling, funny and specially extended to eight episodes, the new season sees the friends thrown deeper and deeper into trouble. With pressure building from the police and crime boss Mr. McCann, Vinnie is forced to ruthlessly take no prisoners in his bid to escape. Bigger, bolder and more bonkers than ever, it’s a hectic world of bulls, snakes, kidnappings, betrayal, and this time, a full-size horse... It’s classic Brassic!"

The series is due to be broadcast later this year.
