Are you excited for season six?

Many have been desperate for series six ever since the second half of season five landed on the streaming platform in May.

The launch date for series six has been up in the air for a while due to restrictions as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, however, the panel confirmed that the show would be available to stream from September 10.

Meanwhile, the plot of season six remains firmly under wraps for now, but showrunners Joe Henderson and Idly Modrovich have revealed that being renewed for a surprise extra season has allowed them to "really explore how our characters end up where they ended up".

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Joe said: "It's the story we were always going to tell, but just written much larger and to me so much more interestingly. It breaks my heart to think we weren't going to do it this way."
