Last month, it was announced a much-loved BBC comedy is 'returning to screens with a brand new series' after a series of rave reviews praising it for being 'laugh out loud' funny.
The BBC Two show is said to be making its big return for another instalment with filming kicking off this June for more episodes.
According to The Sun, the show is now in the works for a series three, with Mike Bubbins returning for more alongside co-star Sian Gibson.
Mammoth, which first launched in 2024, follows 1970s PE teacher Tony Mammoth, played by Mike, as he is given a second chance at life.
While he was believed to have died during an avalanche while on a school trip in 1979, he is brought back from the dead after being preserved perfectly in ice.
Despite now being in the modern day, Tony is determined to keep living life as he did back in the 70s, while getting to grips with the 21st century.
Soon after its first instalment his screens, it was followed up by a second series and a Christmas special to meet the demand from its fast-growing fan base.
In February last year, writer and actor Mike, 53, revealed its second series was in the works, telling fans: 'It's been amazing to see how audiences have got behind this show. They've clearly got great taste!
'So, it's a no-brainer to get Mammoth, the big character with the even bigger moustache back to create more laughs.
'I've got some massive moments up my sleeve for series two.'
The BBC's Director of Comedy Jon Petrie added: 'It's been thrilling to see audiences tune in in impressive numbers and quickly embrace Tony Mammoth's timeless charm.
'Mike Bubbins, Paul Doolan and the BBC Studios team delivered a fantastic sitcom packed with laughs, and we can't wait to see more of Mammoth's retro antics.'
Fans instantly fell in love with the comedy series, taking to social media to heap it with praise, with one writing: 'Watched it all in one sitting, it's funny.'
Another chimed in: 'I had to pause it several times in the first 15mins as I was laughing out loud crying so much,' as a third said: 'Had me cracking up quite a bit.'
