Peep Showmay now be nothing more than a glorious memory, but that doesn't mean we can no longer watch David Mitchell and Robert Webb being funny together.
SEE ALSO:23 of the greatest Mark Corrigan 'Peep Show' quotes of all timeOn Tuesday, Channel 4 announced that the comedy duo will be returning in 2017 for a brand new series.
The show's called Back, and it's written by Peep Showand In the Loopwriter Simon Blackwell. The story revolves around a guy called Stephen (Mitchell) who takes over the family pub after his dad dies; Webb plays a long-lost family member who turns back up out of the blue and threatens to jeopardise Stephen's happiness.

"Stephen’s (David Mitchell) father, a local legend and pub landlord, has died so Stephen is set to -- finally -- take over the pub. Mum Ellen and sister Cass have no interest in the family business - they're 'creative', with weed to buy and energy-centres to rebalance.
With his dad dead, it’s now Stephen’s chance to shine -- his only achievements so far have been marriage (followed by divorce) and a slightly disappointing pub refurb. But when the charming Andrew (Robert Webb) turns up out of the blue at his dad’s funeral, Stephen’s plans go awry. Charismatic Andrew has lived in Sydney, Amsterdam, Chicago, the Loire valley and Berlin but crucially, spent five formative months in 1989 fostered by Laurie and Ellen as a 15-year-old. To Stephen, Andrew was just one of a string of 30-odd foster kids who he spent his childhood resenting. But Andrew remembers every single detail and sees that time as the most important of his life.
Now Andrew's back, and keen to revisit the closest thing he's ever had to a family. Ellen loves Andrew. Cass loves Andrew. Even Laurie's erratic brother Uncle Geoff loves Andrew.
But Stephen doesn’t love Andrew. He thinks he’s a glib, dangerous sociopath who's about to steal his family, his business and his life."
Sounds like the perfect antidote to our Peep Showblues, right? It'll be odd seeing Webb playing the more culturally sophisticated one, but from the sounds of it, the same personality clashing and social awkwardness that made Peep Show fun will endure.
"It’s great to be making a new show for Channel 4, a broadcaster which has always been a huge supporter of new comedy, and with a writer of Simon Blackwell’s talent," David Mitchell was quoted as saying in Channel 4's press release.
"And, in Simon Blackwell, we’ve found a writer of precisely Simon Blackwell’s talent. His writing is deep, dark, warm and funny -- like a hot tub brimming with laughing gravy."
Back will premiere at some point in 2017 (there's no fixed launch date yet).
