ITV's Piglets Renewed for Second Season

ITV's sitcom 'Piglets' has been renewed for a second season despite receiving harsh criticism from both viewers and critics, as well as backlash from the Police Federation over its title, which they labeled 'highly offensive'. The show is set in a police training college and has been criticized for its humor and perceived outdated stereotypes. Despite the negative reviews, 'Piglets' achieved strong viewing figures, prompting ITV to commission another season. The series features Sarah Parish and Mark Heap as superintendents overseeing new recruits. Ricky Champ, one of the actors, expressed surprise at the decision, noting the 'absolute venom' the first series faced. ITV has stated that the show's title is not intended to be offensive and does not plan to change it.
