Repeat offenders: Series two of Young Offenders gets go-ahead

Our favourite Cork hooligans are set to re-offend all over again.

A second series of The Young Offendersis on the way after BBC executives confirmed they were commissioning six further episodes.

In an unusual move and a major coup for the TV spin-off of the movie hit, it has emerged that a new series was greenlit before the first episode even aired in the UK. The series will debut on RTÉ 2 tonight.
