Great news for fans of Arthur Mathews' hit comedy Toast of London as Matt Berry is set to reprise the iconic role of Steven Toast for a brand new six-part series of for BBC One.

Original Toast of London co-creator Mathews - who also co-wrote Father Ted with Graham Linehan - will also return to write alongside Berry, and the new series will see Toast attempt to take on Hollywood.

The BBC has also confirmed there will be a mix of new and returning cast members joining the show.

Speaking of the new series, Matt Berry said: "I couldn't be more thrilled to not only be working with Arthur and the rest of the Toast family again, but to also be taking the show to the BBC which I know Toast himself would very much approve."

Arthur Mathews added: "It was a thrill to be writing Toast again after a long gap. Hollywood is a brave new world for Toast. There will be triumphs and tribulations (but mostly tribulations – and indeed humiliations)."
