Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over returns to W for a second series
27/08/2020
In this brand-new series, Stacey will explore more unseen areas of modern relationships and family life as she spends 72-hours as a house guest, learning all the routines and rituals that make each one so unique. Whether its exploring the religious activities of a strict orthodox Jewish family, or the realities of maintaining the traditional lifestyle of a tradwife, Stacey will be given the opportunity to get to the very heart of each family, giving her a first-hand experience of different communities from the comfort of their sofa.
Stacey Dooley said:
Am thrilled to be back for another series of Sleeps Over! I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with families here in the UK and am delighted we were able to have thought provoking, revealing conversations. Arguably now, more than ever, its so important to engage with people who live differently to you. Its a real privilege to be welcomed into peoples homes, a privilege we dont take for granted, and I cant wait to get stuck in!
Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over is produced by Firecracker Films, commissioned for UKTV by Natalie Rose, commissioning editor, and ordered by Adam Collings, channel director for W. Steve North is genre general manager for comedy and entertainment and Hilary Rosen is head of factual and factual entertainment. The series is exec produced for Firecracker by Jes Wilkins, chief creative officer, and Alice Bowden returns as series editor. The series will also be distributed by Passion Distribution.
Natalie Rose said: Staceys brilliant journalism and insatiable curiosity helped us unearth some fascinating stories in series one, and series two promises to be even more thought-provoking and entertaining. Firecracker have secured incredible access to a diverse range of families and we are so thankful for their tireless efforts in making sure everything falls in line with the current guidelines.
Adam Collings said: We are thrilled to have Stacey back for a second series. The show has been a huge hit for W and given our audience an opportunity to learn more about the families who might live next door. Were excited to see who Stacey encounters next!
Jes Wilkins, chief creative officer for Firecracker, added: We are delighted to carry on working with Stacey and UKTV on this stand out series. Weve taken all the necessary steps to get series two underway and we cant wait to start filming.
All filming for the series adheres to social distancing guidelines.
Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over is the latest UKTV Original for W, following the success of the award-winning Emma Willis: Delivering Babies and Inside the Ambulance, which returns for an eleventh series in September and explores a new region with the South Central Ambulance Service in Oxford and Portsmouth.
