The tweet read: “Given THAT ending, we’re especially delighted to be able to tell you that World On Fire will return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer for series 2.
Peter Bowker, the writer of World on Fire, had admitted to having planned many series before the first season aired.
“I know what happens over six series for the main characters,” he told .
“If you pitch a show, people will often ask ‘What happens in series four, episode three? What happens to this character?’ You’ve got to know and not be English about it.”
Meanwhile, Damien Timmer, Managing Director of Mammoth Screen, the production company behind the programme explained: “There’s more war and there are more years and it’s possible.”
