ITV has confirmed My Mum, Your Dad will return for a second season following the success of its first run.

The reality TV programme sees a group of single parents nominated by their grown-up kids as they head to a luxury country retreat for a chance to find love later in life. As they get to know each other better, their children watch their every interaction from the secret Bunker.

Hosted by Davina McCall, the show will be returning to ITV for another season, with casting now open to applicants.

The second season will follow a similar structure to the first, but will come with "some new twists". Further details have not been revealed at this stage.

"The positive reaction to series one was unprecedented in my experience," ITV's Director of Reality and Acquisitions Paul Mortimer said in a statement.

"From widower Roger finding new love, to the grown-up kids cringing in the secret Bunker as their parents dusted down their dating moves, this was a fresh and welcome take on TV matchmaking. I'm so pleased to be able to once again open the retreat to more single parents in 2024."

The show is produced by Lifted Entertainment, part of ITV Studios and commissioned by Mortimer and Commissioning Editor of Reality TV Amanda Stavri.

"The heartfelt reaction to this show was incredible and we are absolutely delighted that ITV are bringing it back for another series," Managing Director of Lifted Entertainment Richard Cowles added.

"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 airs on ITV1.
