The latest series of Antiques Road Trip has drawn to a close and while fans will be sad to see another set of episodes come to an end, it won't be long before the popular BBC series is back on our screens.
The show's official social media account shared an exciting update on Sunday, revealing that series 31 is already in the works.
Alongside a snap of experts Tahmina Ghaffar and David Harper, the caption read: "Thanks for watching Antiques Road Trip! This series might be over, but don’t worry, Series 31 is already 'work in progress'! Stay tuned for more antiques adventures!"
Fans expressed their excitement in the comments section, with one person writing: "Yaaay Series 31 is already 'work in progress'! Already looking forward to watching it," while a viewer from across the pond added: "Whew! You had us worried there for a moment! We LOVE you guys here in the States!"
The news of the show's renewal was announced back in February. The popular series, which began back in 2010, will return with 20 new episodes later this year. Production is already underway.
