Miranda was one of the most popular sitcoms of the noughties and beyond, but it’s been nearly 10 years since the BBC One comedy last aired – so where are the cast now?
In the current comedy vacuum created by the Euro 2024 Championship, and Wimbledon, BBC Two is repeating old classics like The Royle Family, Keeping Up Appearances, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Citizen Khan, and Miranda.
So where is the cast of comedy sitcom Miranda now? And what has creator Miranda Hart said about the show ever returning for a series 4? Here’s everything you need to know.
Will there be a series 4 of Miranda?
Fans of Miranda Hart’s much-loved comedy show Miranda were left disappointed when she said they’d be no series 4.
Taking to her Facebook account in 2022, Miranda let excited fans down after reports claimed she would be back for a new series. At the time, Miranda wrote: “It’s so lovely when some people get excited that there might be more Miranda. Means a lot.
“But I’m afraid what was in the papers today [about a series 4] didn’t come from me. Nothing planned at this time.”
She rounded the post off with a heart emoji to soften the blow. But fans of the sitcom, which ran from 2009 to 2015, weren’t to be consoled.
One gutted fan wrote: “We can all hope for Miranda, the next stage of her life, to become a reality. They really are a breath of fresh air, and some much needed light relief, when the world these days is so dark.”
The BBC One sitcom last aired on New Year’s Day in 2015. At the time, Miranda told audiences: “I don’t know when and if I’ll see you again.”
Miranda Hart has subsequently moved on to other things, including film roles, writing children’s books, and merchandise.
Where is Miranda Hart now?
Comic actress Miranda Hart played the eponymous character in the comedy Miranda. Well, she had every right to cast herself in the leading role as she created the character, and wrote every episode of the sitcom. The idea was developed from her semi-autobiographical BBC Radio 2 comedy Miranda Hart’s Joke Shop in 2008.
Fans will know that the series revolved around socially-inept Miranda, who frequently found herself in awkward situations. After the show came to an end in 2015 with a special episode entitled The Final Curtain, Miranda has largely stepped away from acting roles.
Of course, she played the popular character of Chummy in Call the Midwife, but she choose to leave that role in 2015, too. Since then, she’s appeared in a smattering of film roles, including Nancy B. Artingstall in the Melissa McCarthy film Spy, Dew Drop Fairy in The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, and Miss Bates in Emma.
That’s not a lot of Miranda Hart. In January 2021, Miranda announced she would be “taking a break”
