Benidorm Reboot in Doubt After Public Divorce

Plans for a reboot of the ITV sitcom Benidorm are reportedly in crisis due to the messy divorce between creator Derren Litten and star Jake Canuso, who played Matteo. Negotiations for the show's return have stalled as their split has created significant tension, making Canuso's participation unlikely without a substantial offer from ITV. Both Litten and Canuso have publicly acknowledged the strain of their separation, with Litten discussing its negative effects on social media. Insiders stress that Matteo is central to the series and a reboot without him could disappoint fans. While discussions about a revival have taken place, the situation remains unresolved. The original Benidorm ran for ten series from 2007 to 2018 and is remembered for its ensemble cast.
