Production gets underway on Everyone Else Burns S2
Production is due to get underway in the next week in Manchester on the second series of Everyone Else Burns.
The Channel 4 sitcom stars Simon Bird, Amy James-Kelly, Harry Connor, Kate O'Flynn and Morgana Robinson and is produced by Jax Media UK (part of Imagine Entertainment) and Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group.
The writers are Dillon Mapletoft and Oliver Taylor. Executive producers include Brooke Posch, Tony Hernandez and Jax Media’s Molly Seymour as well as Mapletoft and Taylor.
Everyone Else Burns centres on the ultra-religious Lewis family, members of a puritanical Christian sect. The second series follows Rachel’s search for a new direction – a rebellion that could drastically affect the whole congregation.
When the second series got the greenlight last year, exec producer Seymour said: “Jax UK couldn’t be more excited to spread the word about the return of the Lewis family and their admirable attempts at being good people when everyday life continues to tempt them.
“Dillon and Oliver skilfully continue to build a unique world full of hilarious characters. Viewers are in for such a treat. Partnering with the teams at Universal International Studios and Channel 4 for a second time is just as thrilling as the first.”
Laura Riseam, Channel 4 commissioning editor added: “I’m elated that the Lewis family have (so far) survived eternal damnation for long enough in order to deliver another series of the excellent Everyone Else Burns for Channel 4 viewers. I’m very grateful to the brilliant minds of Oli and Dillon and the whole team at Jax Media and Universal International Studios and we can’t wait to see what’s in store when series two hits our screens.”
