ITV has ordered a second series of the reality romance show My Mum, Your Dad to air next year. 
 

Casting is now open for the new run, which will again see the young adult offspring of single parents nominate their mums and dads to head into a luxe country retreat to try to find later-in-life meaningful relationships. 
 

ITV Studios-owned Lifted Entertainment produces My Mum, Your Dad; the first series attracted more than 2m viewers on all devices (based on 7-day consolidated viewing figures). 

Hosted by Davina McCall, the first series was filmed in a country manor in West Sussex and came with a major twist: the parents not knowing their kids were secretly watching their every move from a surveillance room nearby, with the remit to affect who went on dates with whom etc. The new series will still feature the surveillance room.  

Richard Cowles, MD of Lifted Entertainment, said: “The heartfelt reaction to this show was incredible and we are absolutely delighted that ITV are bringing it back for another series. There was real joy in watching the amazing relationships between the grown-up kids and their parents; they cried as their parents’ vulnerabilities showed and cringed as new connections and dates played out. 

“My Mum, Your Dad has heart, warmth and laughs in every show and that really resonated with viewers. With casting now open, we can’t wait to find a new bunch of single parents looking for love.”
 

My Mum, Your Dad was created by father and daughter Haley and Greg Daniels. It has now been commissioned in 10 territories, including the US, Sweden, Germany, France, New Zealand and Australia, where it has also returned for a second series.
