ITV's department store drama Mr Selfridge is opening its doors for a third series.
Ten new episodes of the show, which stars US actor Jeremy Piven as the title character, will be filmed this year.
The drama, inspired by the life of entrepreneur Harry Gordon Selfridge whose business still stands in Oxford Street, has proved a hit with viewers, pulling in audiences of 6.8 million on Sunday nights.
A replica of the shop floor has been recreated in a former carpet warehouse in London, with the Chatham dockyard in Kent standing in for the shop's exterior.
ITV Studios executive producer Kate Lewis said: "We have some surprises in store for an audience in this third series. You only have to walk down Oxford Street today to know that Selfridges department store continued to be successful, but for its founder, Harry Selfridge, things were very different.
"His story was a rollercoaster ride that ended rather tragically. We pick up series three in 1919, the point at which his life really begins to unravel."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
