Man Like Mobeen has been recommissioned for a fourth series by the BBC as part of a comedy slate, with filming set to be begin in the autumn.
The hit comedy series, which has run since 2017, follows Guz Khan's titular character, a reformed drug dealer who tries to turn his life around.
The BBC has also announced a number of new shows, including royal comedy Queen of Oz starring and written by Catherine Tate and Sian Gibson's Undoing Martin Parker.
What to Read Next
At the end of series three of Man Like Mobeen, the character found himself behind bars alongside friend Nate (Tolu Ogunmefun) following the death of their friend Eight.
The new series synopsis reads: "As they adjust to a new life inside, with familiar faces returning in very unexpected situations, Mobeen and Nate need to negotiate a new set of challenges – but can our haphazard heroes make it to the end of their sentence without causing more mayhem and come good on their dream of living a quiet life?
"Will Aks finally accomplish her goal of training to be a Doctor and will evil Uncle Khan keep a relatively low profile in Pakistan or manage to torment Mobeen from afar?"
Alongside Khan, the new series will also see the return of stars Dúaa Karim (Aks), Perry Fitzpatrick (Officer Harper) and Mark Silcox (Uncle Shady).
"I've been away in Hollywood for a couple of years, but the entire time I was there, I felt like I needed to come home and give my people the show they love," Khan said.
"It's still crazy to me that despite having not made Man Like Mobeen for three years, it still means so much to the people. So we're making more, for you.
"As always, I promise authenticity both on and off screen. That's how real change is made. I'm going to eat roti now, bye."

Tanya Qureshi, head of comedy at the BBC, added: "The return of Man Like Mobeen was, quite simply, a no-brainer for us.
"Guz and the team's enthusiasm and commitment to the show remains as strong as ever, for which we are really grateful. It's a pure joy to be able to bring more episodes of this iconic comedy character to all the fans".
Man Like Mobeen will return to BBC Three and BBC iPlayer next year.
