Pop and Ma Larkin will be returning sooner than expected, with a festive special set to air sometime this December following the last of the first run of The Larkins episodes.
Although season two hasn’t yet been officially announced, we have The Larkins Christmas special to look forward to, returning us to the idyllic Kent countryside village where the family live in the 1950s.
Speaking at a Q&A for ITV’s adaptation of The Darling Buds of May, Joanna Scanlan, who plays Ma, teased the show’s festive episode, which reportedly has a big “twist”.
“I think you think you know what you’re going to get – and I don’t think you’re going to get what you think you’re going to get out of this Christmas special,” she said.
“I will not say a word specifically but there are lots of twists and turns it it. It genuinely does remind you what Christmas is about – what it really is about – as well as giving you, of course, I hope a lot of laughs and pleasure on the way. It’s got a twist, to say the least of it. ”
