What's more, the producers have issued a casting call for the brand-new series.
Peter Foott, creator of The Young Offenders says: “We’re over the moon to have been commissioned for Series 4 of the show on BBC One, and of course always grateful for the ongoing support of RTÉ.
"Audiences have been asking for more of the journeys of these characters and we’re very excited to take the show in new directions for Series 4 and can’t wait to bring it back to TV screens.”
The director for the upcoming series 4 is Jamie Jay Johnson, while the mischievous Alex Murphy and Chris Walley, who first rose to stardom featuring in the box office hit The Young Offenders film in 2016 return to their roles as loveable teenage rogues Conor and Jock.
Ben Caudell, Commissioning Editor for BBC Comedy said he was so happy to have The Young Offenders back.
"They may not be quite so young, but they’re still very much offenders," he added.
