Can you believe it’s been eight years since Benidorm was axed? Yeah, back in 2018, ITV pulled the plug just two months before the show won Best Comedy at the TV Choice Awards. Classic case of "you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone." But now, whispers are growing louder that we could be seeing the return of the outrageous antics at the Solana resort for an 11th season. And it’s not just rumors — there have been some real behind-the-scenes moves happening.
Apparently, ITV bosses have been holding secret talks with the original cast. Sherrie Hewson, who played the ever-dramatic hotel manager Joyce Temple-Savage, even dropped a big hint during a podcast interview. Her words? “ Benidorm is coming back .” That’s not a slip-up — that’s a tease we’re totally here for.
Fans will remember all the chaotic brilliance the show brought — from Madge Harvey chain-smoking on her mobility scooter to Les, the cross-dressing bartender with a heart of gold. It was a wild mix of outrageous characters, sunny misadventures, and razor-sharp British humor. Even legends like Johnny Vegas, Steve Pemberton, and Hannah Waddingham had their moments of glory in Benidorm’s world.
Creator Derren Litten didn’t hold back back when the show was first canceled either. During that award show speech, he cheekily called out ITV, saying, “I’ve huge respect for ITV — a show that’s getting five and a half million viewers and still picking up awards, but they’ve cancelled it. That takes balls.” And now? He’s back on social media, teasing fans with behind-the-scenes content, throwback clips, and talk of new writing projects. So yeah, the momentum is building — and fast.
Although ITV hasn’t officially confirmed anything yet, producers have already started reaching out to cast members. The buzz is very real. If this goes through, we might just be booking ourselves a one-way trip back to that wild, all-inclusive mayhem we called Benidorm .
Streaming on ITVX has introduced the show to a whole new generation — so between the nostalgia of long-time fans and the fresh love from new viewers, this revival could be the perfect storm.
Fingers crossed we hear those Solana sunbeds calling our names again soon. Would you be tuning in for season 11? Because I definitely would.
