Huge news has just been announced for fans of the beloved BBC drama, The Split. The highly anticipated return date for the show has been officially confirmed, and we couldn't be more excited. With the Christmas TV schedule already full of returning favorites, such as Outnumbered and Gavin and Stacey, it's now been revealed that the Defoe family will also be reuniting for a special two-part episode.
Starring Nicola Walker and Stephen Mangan as Hannah and Nathan, the show will take viewers on a new adventure as the characters swap the high-end London lifestyle for the sunny streets of Barcelona. The special episodes will explore themes of love, legacy, and modern marriage, promising to deliver all the drama and romance that fans have grown to love.
The episodes will air on Sunday 29 and Monday 30 December, and will also be available for streaming on BBC iPlayer from Sunday. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see if Hannah and Nathan's relationship will have a happy ending, after the third season ended with Hannah coming to terms with being newly-divorced and single again.
The Split first aired on the BBC in 2018 and ran for three seasons and 18 episodes until 2022. The show's return comes as a surprise to many, as it was thought that the third season finale would be the last time we saw the Defoe family. However, Deborah Findlay, who plays matriarch Ruth, previously hinted that the story may not be over yet.
In an interview with Metro in 2022, Findlay shared, "I don't think the story's over yet. I think the series is over, but I don't think... there's a lot more to go with everybody's character, which is why it's so brilliant." Fans of the show were ecstatic when Nicola Walker confirmed that production was underway earlier this year, and they can't wait for the new episodes to air.
The special episodes will see the return of familiar faces such as Annabel Scholey, Fiona Button, and Deborah Findlay, as well as new stars Ian McElhinney and Alex Guersman. Creator Abi Morgan has teased that the show will deliver all the drama and chaos that viewers have come to expect, with "problematic prenups, scandalous wedding crashers, and low flying marriage proposals."
The Split: Barcelona will air on BBC One at 9pm on Sunday 29 and Monday 30 December, with both episodes available for streaming on BBC iPlayer from 29 December. Fans are eagerly anticipating the return of the Defoe sisters and can't wait to see what the future holds for their favorite characters.
