Hit comedy show Hardy Bucks is set to return for a new season, a star of the show has revealed.

Comedian and actor Owen Colgan shared the news during an interview on Off the Ball.

He said “a new one is on the way”, and that six episodes have been planned. 

“That’s breaking news for you there guys. Taking a bit of the shine off the Mayo team,” he said.

Laughing, Colgan added: "But this is not about us."

The comedy, set in Mayo, followed a group of men in their 20s and their bad behaviour.

Buzz, Eddie Durkan, and Viper Higgins, and their adventures in Castletown gained a cult following.

Created in 2007, the first episodes were online before it was picked up by RTÉ.

In the interview, Colgan joked: "I went straight to the boys in RTÉ and I said: 'Give us another season.' They're like: 'Yeah, no bother at all.'"
