ITV has announced a second season of the sitcom "Piglets," set to begin filming in early 2025. The show, starring Ricky Champ, faced significant criticism, including over 100 complaints to Ofcom after its first episode. The Police Federation of England and Wales called the show "highly offensive," but ITV defended it as a fictional comedy about a police training academy. ITV's head of comedy acknowledged that comedy is subjective and that some viewers may not enjoy the show. Despite mixed reactions on social media, including both praise and criticism, ITV has decided to move forward with the new season. Episodes of "Piglets" are currently available on ITVX.
