Will Isolation Stories return for series 2 on BBC?
ITV’S Isolation Stories has been a hit with viewers who have taken to social media to express their love of show.
The bitesize episodes – which are 15 minutes long each – have left fans hungry for more.
Will Isolation Stories return for series 2?
Currently this hasn’t been confirmed or denied.
Social distancing measures have changed the way TV shows can now be filmed.
If there is a second series it could pick up where the characters left off, meaning there would be the same cast, or it could start with fresh stories.
The unique series has been left open ended.
What happened in Isolation Stories?
Isolation Stories was created during lockdown – it was cast, directed and film remotely.
Tonight (May 7) ITV will be airing Isolation Stories: Behind The Scenes to show how they did it.
