ITV has confirmed that iconic 1990s series Cold Feet will return next year.

After months of speculation, bosses have revealed that the original cast of the BAFTA-winning comedy drama are set to reunite.

The new eight-part series, shot 13 years after the original wrapped, will star James Nesbitt, Robert Bathurst, Hermione Norris, John Thomson, and Fay Ripley.

ITV’s Director of Drama Steve November said: “We’re delighted to be re-visiting Cold Feet for a new generation.

“Like any reunion we’ll be looking forward to working with Mike Bullen on his wonderfully heartfelt and funny scripts and learning how the characters’ lives have changed over the years.”

Cold Feet creator Mike Bullen added: “This feels like the right time to revisit these characters, as they tip-toe through the minefield of middle age.

“They’re 50, but still feel 30, apart from on the morning after the night before, when they really feel their age.

“They’ve still got lots of life to look forward to, though they’re not necessarily the years one looks forward to!”

Cold Feet originally ran for five series from 1998-2003, following the lives and loves of three couples.

The finale episode is regarded as one of the most moving in British TV history as the characters said goodbye to Rachel (played by Helen Baxendale), who was killed in a car crash.

Filming for the new series will begin in January 2016 and will be directed by Terry McDonough.
