BBC Reportedly Considering Return of Miranda Hart Sitcom

The BBC is reportedly considering a return for Miranda Hart's popular sitcom, "Miranda," according to sources. This comes after the actress's successful and well-received stint on the current season of "The Celebrity Traitors."

"Miranda," which originally aired from 2009 to 2015, established Hart as a beloved comedic figure in the UK. After a period away from the public eye due to health issues, her recent participation in "The Celebrity Traitors" has reportedly reignited interest in her return to television.

An insider told The Sun that "there have been conversations about whether Miranda could return among bosses." The source added, "A one-off special could be a brilliant way to bring Miranda back, and the possibility of another series is something the BBC would love to explore." The success of her role on "The Celebrity Traitors" has, according to the source, reminded executives of her enduring popularity and "huge reaction" from viewers. The show also appears to have introduced Hart to a new generation of fans while reconnecting with those who grew up watching the original sitcom.

Hart's character was recently eliminated from "The Celebrity Traitors" in Friday night's episode, having been "murdered" by fellow contestants Maya Jama, James Acaster, and King Kenny, who suspected her of getting too close to uncovering the truth. Following her exit, viewers expressed their disappointment on social media, with many sharing fond memories of her appearance on the show.

Hart described her participation in "The Celebrity Traitors" as the culmination of a difficult journey back to television after managing long-term illness, specifically ME, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome, which she was diagnosed with in 2024. She stated that she had missed television work and that it had been a "very hard road" to regain her health sufficiently to undertake such a project.

The original "Miranda" sitcom starred Hart as the socially awkward Miranda who owned a joke shop. The series also featured actors such as Tom Ellis and Sarah Hadland. The BBC has declined to comment on the reports of a potential revival.
