Hilary Rosen said:
This series has gone from strength to strength and taking it abroad is an exciting departure. Heading to the USA will deliver fresh encounters for Stacey, and a compelling new series of this much loved brand for the W audience.
Adam Collings said:
Im delighted were sleeping over once again in this brilliant new series with Stacey and cant wait to watch her inimitable approach, which is further from home than usual. Its also been great seeing the new free to air audience finding and loving the series, so we excited to bring the next instalment later this year.
Alice Bowden, Firecracker Films added:
Were really excited to be taking Staceys Sleep Overs to the USA. The intimacy that these weekends afford will allow Stacey to tell stories of modern American family life and to tackle their issues, in a fresh and unexpected manner.
