Shameless Series 8

[Perdita]

Channel 4 has commissioned Shameless for an eighth series.

The new run will see the series extended from 16 episodes to 22 after it was cut last year.

The Stage quotes creator Paul Abbott as saying: "I genuinely love the idea of us taking Shameless further - to be ambitious and to pull off stuff that we haven't yet. That excites me beyond belief.

"Shameless is the show I'm most proud of being associated with. There has never been, and still isn't, anything remotely like it. That matters to me."

The show's seventh series is due to air on Channel 4 from January 2010.

Earlier this year, Showtime greenlit a Shameless pilot for US audiences.

Ricky Hatton will reportedly have a cameo in the next series of Shameless.

According to The Sun, the champion boxer was "knocked out" to meet the cast of the Channel 4 drama.

"He was buzzing when he got the part," a source said. "Now he can't wait for the episode to be screened."

The insider added that Hatton's cameo sees him confronting one of the main characters.

The seventh series of Shameless is due to air in January. An eighth series was commissioned earlier this month.

Used to be I would never miss a episode of this but after seris 3 I have given up, it is just not the same with the new people. Should have never been dragged out for this long.
