S4C has commissioned two further seasons of Y Cyfweliad (The Interview), based on Can’t Stop Media’s hit The A-Talks format.
Season one of the show—in which interviewers who are autistic, neurodiverse and/or have learning disabilities question a celebrity—premiered on December 26 and delivered across S4C’s platforms, the pubcaster said.
The series originated as Les Rencontres du Papotin, created by Kiosco TV and Quad Ten for France 2.
“The response to this special series has been extraordinary; the warmth towards the interviewers and the characters who are interviewed is astounding,” said Llion Iwan, S4C’s chief content Officer. “As we commission a further two series, we very much look forward to seeing which questions the interviewers will ask next time. Even though there’s a different star in the limelight in every episode, the stars who question them shine brightly and have touched the hearts of all our viewers. Thank you so much to them and their families.”
Bethan Griffiths, Cwmni Da’s chief executive, added: “We are very pleased to secure not one, but two new series of Y Cyfweliad, after the incredible response to the first, which is a testament to the work of the incredible production team. It’s a series that brings viewers of all ages together to watch wise journalists asking the questions we all want to ask of some of our nation’s greats, from the light-hearted to the heartfelt. We can’t wait to find out who’ll be in the hot seat next.”
