Diane Morgan's hit BBC2 comedy Mandy about a jobless heroine who attempts to make a living in the modern gig economy is reportedly set to return next year.

Season four of the show is currently in pre-production and due to shoot in 2025 according to TV Zone.

Cunk on Earth star Diane plays the titular Mandy who has been dubbed "telly's ultimate bad influence" due to her inbility to hold down a job.

In the moments when she isn't seeing a career advisor she is plotting and scheming with her best friend Lola (played by After Life's Michelle Greenidge), in a local nail salon.

The past three series have seen her take on ever more outlandish roles as she tries to survive. In season one she worked in a banana factory before she entering a line-dancing challenge and she eventually put her spare room up for rent on Airbnb.

Series two saw her work take on cleanign work while she appeared on an episode of Who Do You Think You Are.

The most recent third series followed her as she attemtped to become an air hostess.

She also had placements in an abattoir and biscuit factory before she eventually saw the light and decided to become true to herself.

No release date has been set for the new series but given that it is yet to start filming it is likely to be the second half of 2025 before it sees the light of day.

Diane's other series Cunk On Earth, which sees Diane's character ask real historians outlandish questions about the world, is available on the BBC iPlayer and the shows creator Charlie Brooker has nothing but praise for her performance in the mockumentary.

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk at The Royal Television Society Awards in 2023, Charlie was asked why he thought Diane would be a great choice for the role.

"Well, she's incredibly funny. When she first auditioned for that role, it was a few years ago, she just knocked it out of the park," he shared.

"She just has very funny bones," the writer continued. "Everything she says is funny, everything she does is funny. She probably cries in a funny way, if she's genuinely upset it would probably be quite funny."
