The comedy’s three-Bafta win earlier this year gives the renewal news a ‘well, dur’ slant. If the cast were up for it, of course Channel 4 would make more. It’d be mad not to. The sitcom has one of the best comedy casts and most distinct voices around – specifically, the voice of creator and star Jamie Demetriou who plays Greek-Cypriot lettings agent and golden-hearted idiot Stath. Demetriou stars in the series alongside his comedian sister Natasia, of What We Do in the Shadows fame. She plays Stath’s sister Sophie, a sort of Labrador in human form. There’s also Al Roberts of comedy trio Sheeps, Ghosts’ Kiell Smith-Bynoe and Katy Wix, and The Other One’s Ellie White. Presiding over them all as Stath and Sophie’s long-suffering dad Vasos is Christos Stergioglou. The renewal news was unofficially reported earlier this week by the British Comedy Guide. Katy Wix, who plays lettings agent Carol, a sort of Apprentice contestant in the wild, told the Standard Issue podcast (always great, do give it a listen) that the third series had the green light. If you’ve yet to have the pleasure, here’s a compilation of the funniest moments (it’s quite long; it’s a funny show), though it should be said that the true pleasure of Stath Lets Flats isn’t in standalone clips, but in getting to know the characters, so you’re best off just watching the lot. Stream series one and two on All 4 here.
