Balamory has been commissioned for two further series.
The popular children's TV show was revived earlier this year, after more than 20 years off screens, and the BBC has now announced that Balamory has been commissioned for two more series.
Kate Morton, the senior head of commissioning for CBeebies, said: "Balamory has always been about community, creativity and helping children understand the world around them. Seeing it return and connect so strongly with audiences, both those discovering it for the first time and those who remember it so fondly, has been incredibly special.
"This recommission is a testament to the enduring power of children’s media make lasting memories and promote kindness, inclusion and togetherness."
Lisa Hazlehurst, the head of Lion Television Scotland, is also excited about the show being commissioned for two further series.
Lisa said: "We are thrilled to be able to dream up more adventures for the Balamory gang following the wonderful response to the reboot.
"At Lion Scotland, we believe there is something truly magical about seeing real people sharing adventures in one of the most beautiful settings on the planet. Balamory reminds children that kindness and teamwork can solve even the trickiest problems with a little imagination and a healthy dollop of humour. We should all be a bit more Balamory."
Meanwhile, Kate previously explained that it had "been a real joy" to bring Balamory back to CBeebies after 21 years because it "holds a very special place in the hearts of families across the UK".
She added: "It’s wonderful to welcome back beloved characters like Miss Hoolie, PC Plum and Penny Pocket, who have shaped so many childhoods, while also introducing a new generation of Balamory residents who bring fresh energy, humour and heart to the island.
"The spirit of curiosity, creativity and community that defined the original series remains at the core of this new chapter, and we can’t wait for young viewers and their grown‑ups to rediscover the magic of Balamory together."
