The final episode of the hilarious sitcom aired in 2014 and fans will now get chance to follow the lives of Britain's most dysfunctional family once again, as the show's creator Andy Hamilton spoke out about the upcoming episodes in a new interview.
Outnumbered fans watched parents Pete (Hugh Dennis) and Sue (Claire Skinner) constantly being kept on their toes by their three children; Jake, Ben and Karen (played by Tyger Drew-Honey, Daniel Roche and Ramona Marquez).
There were five series of the hit show, which aired on BBC One during 2007-2014 and was also directed and produced by Guy Jenkin.

Outnumbered WILL return for a Christmas special
Talking about what he expects the public's attitude to be like, Andy explained: "The first reaction will probably be, 'My God, the kids are huge now!'"
He said that he also thinks people will joke: "I reckon you must have cameras in our house."
Andy explained that there's no plans to make a whole series as of yet, but he hopes to pen a special every few years.

He continued to tell The Telegraph: "Our plan is to pop in every couple of years and see how the family is getting on. You learn not to think too far ahead, but who knows?
"Many years down the line there'll be an episode where Karen becomes a grandmother!"
Ramona - who played Karen - was just six-years-old when the show first started, while Daniel was aged seven and Tyger was 11.
