As a gamer with a heart for nostalgia and a soft spot for classic literature adaptations, I must say, the announcement of The Famous Five’s return has sent me into a whirlwind of excitement! Growing up, Enid Blyton’s tales were my escape from reality, transporting me to idyllic landscapes filled with adventure and camaraderie.


BBC series The Famous Five has confirmed a return release window alongside a teaser trailer.

Last year saw the premiere of the updated version of Enid Blyton’s timeless stories, featuring three initial episodes. It won’t be long until we see its return.

It’s officially set that the premiere of season 2, titled “Mystery at the Prospect Hotel“, will be broadcasted shortly. The second episode is scheduled for release in the year 2025.

In the teaser clip (which you can view here), we get a taste of the action to come – including Ted Lasso star James Lance dancing as Uncle Quentin.

The summer of 1940 serves as the backdrop for the enigma unfolding at the luxurious Prospect Hotel, perched on Cragstone Ridge, where the quintet gathers once more.

“An old foe, Thomas Wentworth, awaits them as he needs their help,” the synopsis adds.

Actor Jack Gleeson, famously known for his role in Game of Thrones, will portray Wentworth, a character with psychic abilities, who predicts that Cab Vee, a renowned jazz musician, will be murdered while staying at the hotel.
