Fans want some answers.
The BBC has announced that a much-loved legal drama starring Stephen Mangan and Nicola Walker will return to screens for the first time in two years.
The third and final season Split aired in 2022 and ended with a major cliffhanger that left fans in stitches.
Now, a new two-part special has been released and the Defoe family is back for more drama.
The series follows the lives of three sisters, both in and out of court, as they represent clients going through divorce and deal with their own private heartbreaks.
Fans were particularly drawn to the storyline of Walker and Mangan's characters, Hannah and Nathan, who had been married for 20 years and seemed to be one of the show's few rock-solid couples until an infidelity on both sides led to A painful breakup. .
writers and creators SplitAbi Morgan shared a photo on Instagram showing actors Annabelle Scully, Nicola Walker and Fiona Barton holding a clapperboard that read “Divided Barcelona”.
Morgan wrote in the caption: “In a world of brutal breakups and tantalizing reconciliations, the DeFoe family was invited to their very own destination wedding, promising viewers everything they'd love. Split.
“A questionable prenup, scandalous wedding crashers, a low-flying proposal, and a romantic comedy meeting gone wrong over a chaotic and rowdy weekend are sure to open hearts before the last guest goes home.” Camera is scrolling. “
The Emmy and BAFTA award-winning writer issued a press statement via the BBC, in which she detailed that the show will return for a two-part special that will see the Defoe family travel to Barcelona for a wedding.
Toby Stephens (“Percy Jackson and the Olympians”, “Black Sails”) plays Archie Moore and many other new roles. Actors confirmed to return to the Spanish grand performance include Nicola Walker and Stephen Mann Root, Annabel Shorey, Fiona Barton, Deborah Findlay, Ian McElhinney, Cobner Holdbrook-Smith, Elizabeth Roberts and Alex Gursman.
Fans shared their delight at the news in the comments section of the post.
One wrote: “Omg I can't wait!”
Another commented: “So exciting!!!! I still think about Split at least once a day.”
Another person mentioned the announcement of the Gavin & Stacey finale, which was announced by show creators James Corden and Ruth Jones earlier this week.
They wrote: “OMG this and Gavin and Stacey…are a match made in heaven!”
Corden and Jones shared an Instagram post together with the caption: “Some news…it's official! We've written the final episode of Gavin & Stacey. Christmas See you, BBC One. Love Ruth and James.”
Speculation about a special has been circulating in recent months, though many cast members have downplayed the reports, suggesting they were hoping for a special rather than already knowing it was happening.
