I Kissed a Girl is heading back to the sunny Italian masseria for more smooching, as season 2 has officially been announced.
A spin-off of I Kissed a Boy, the BBC reality dating show follows a group of queer women looking to find love at first kiss, with host Dannii Minogue on cupid duties.
Following the success of the first season, the show returns for more drama via a fresh batch of 10 episodes. Casting is currently open for the new series, but a release date is yet to be confirmed.
"I Kissed a Girl was full of heart and groundbreaking for female representation on TV. The fans loved the fun, the passion and the drama," Minogue said.
"I can't wait for the return of the girls - let's see what the heat of the Italian sun does for kisses and connections. It is sure to get sparks flying. I am ready to be cupid once again - get ready for the Masseria Mania!"
