"Little did we know when we started Inside No. 9 in 2014 that we would end up with as many episodes of it as Countryfile," show creators Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith said in a statement.

"We are delighted and exhausted in equal measure at the prospect of two more series-worth of tall tales and fearsome fables. However, we will endeavor to showcase the very best of what the BBC can do in every genre with 30 minutes of story-telling and some half-decent wigs."

Pemberton and Shearsmith also act in the show, alongside a rotating cast of guest stars.

Season 5 featured appearances by Jenna Coleman, David Morrissey, Ralf Little, Fionn Whitehead, Maxine Peake and Phil Davis.
