Still Game Series 8? Creators Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill are “pretty positive” the BBC will issue an eighth season renewal in the coming months, for which they have “plenty” of ideas, per Scotsman:
“We’re pretty positive that it will be green-lit for this year.” Kiernan said. “We’ve got plenty of ideas. We come up with different ones all the time. They get squirrelled away. That’s the way it’s always worked.”
Hemphill added:
“A lot of writers map out a story. We don’t do that. We’ll maybe get about eight scenes mapped out and then start writing. That element of surprise is great for comedy. Part of the fun is keeping yourselves challenged by not planning too much. The BBC has been making noises and saying they’re keen. Last time it took 18 months to get the green light. We don’t worry about these things.”
Stay tuned as we await the expected 8th Season renewal of Still Game, while keeping an eye on the cancellation trapdoor…
