Fortunately, creators Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton are already hard at work on their final set of scripts for the acclaimed show, which will return for its last hurrah next year.<\/p>\n
Over the past nine years, we\u2019ve seen the duo morph into dozens of larger-than-life characters for stories that have often left our jaws on the floor, so anticipation is high for what they might have saved for last.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s everything we know so far about Inside No. 9 season 9 on BBC Two and iPlayer.<\/p>\n

If so, it would point to a premiere date some time around April\/May 2024<\/strong>, although that\u2019s just an educated guess for now. We\u2019ll update this page when the BBC offers more details about the show\u2019s return.<\/p>\nIs Inside No. 9 ending?<\/strong><\/h2>\nYes, Inside No. 9 is coming to an end with its ninth season, naturally.<\/p>\n
Co-creator Steve Pemberton was first to announce the news in December 2022, just prior to the broadcast of Christmas special The Bones of St Nicholas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cWe feel it is a good time to pause Inside No. 9 after we finish filming season 9 next year,\u201d he told The Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cWe\u2019re not saying it\u2019s over for good. After all, The League of Gentlemen came back [for anniversary specials], but we won\u2019t be looking to make any more episodes for the time being.\u201d<\/p>\n
The writer echoed this sentiment at a later fan screening, saying that the door to Inside No. 9. is ajar, not closed<\/a>.<\/p> Inside No. 9 season 9 episodes<\/strong><\/h2>\nThere\u2019s no word yet on what settings and premises could be explored in the final season of Inside No. 9, but co-creator Steve Pemberton did reveal that crafting the last batch of episodes has been a major challenge.<\/p>\n
\u201cGenerally speaking, we like to keep moving forwards,\u201d he said at the BFI. \u201cWe\u2019re not looking back at stuff that we\u2019ve written because we think we can keep doing better, although it\u2019s hard now.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re writing series 9 at the moment and, of course, it\u2019s hard because we have done so many ways of telling a story, and so many ways of turning a story on its head \u2013 and we don\u2019t want to repeat those.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pemberton added: \u201cWe just want to give the audience the biggest surprises and enjoyable half-hour stories. That\u2019s the thing that\u2019s tricky, because by the time we finish we\u2019ll have done 55 [episodes].\u201d<\/p>\n

The duo say that they never have anyone specific in mind when writing scripts as to do so risks disappointment in the event that the individual is not available.<\/p>\n
The golden rule of the anthology show has always been that no actor can appear on-screen more than once, meaning that the Inside No. 9 season 8 cast<\/a> can probably be ruled out of contention for future roles.<\/p>\nThat said, if they were ever tempted to break that rule, the best time to do so would be the final season.<\/p>\n
Is there a trailer for Inside No. 9 season 9?<\/strong><\/h2>\nNot yet. We\u2019ll update this page when new footage emerges from Inside No. 9.<\/p>\n
