Channel 4's controversial documentary series Benefits Street has been re-commissioned for a six-part second season.
The programme sparked fierce debate in Britain about the welfare system when it aired earlier this year, while making stars out of its contributors such as White Dee.
The first season was shot on a street in Birmingham, but filming for the second run has begun on a street in Stockton-On-Tees, near Middlesbrough.
Channel 4's Head of Documentaries, Nick Mirsky, said: "Benefits Street fits perfectly with Channel 4's remit of producing programming that stimulates discussion and debate, the first series did this on a national scale.
"It brought a very human focus to an issue that is at the heart of who we are in Britain today. I'm sure the new series will advance that debate and introduce viewers to a new group of compelling residents."
In June, the series was cleared by Ofcom, the UK's independent regulator, after it picked up a large number of complaints from viewers, including those who claimed the show "misrepresented and vilified benefits claimants".
The production team behind the show are also working on Immigration Street, a six-part programme focusing on life in Derby Road in Southampton.
Season one of Benefits Street featured White Dee, who is currently taking part in Celebrity Big Brother on Channel 5.
