The Horne Section TV Show will return to our screens as the musical sitcom airs its second series from 10pm on Thursday 22nd May on Channel 4. Created by Alex Horne (creator of BAFTA and National Comedy Award winning Taskmaster) and his actually talented band, the entire box set is also available from Thursday 22nd May.  

Struggling with his newfound fame, the pressure of filming live from his family home and subsequent lack of money, Alex is determined to prove to the nation that he is a credible musician and bandleader, especially when an appearance from acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Reggie Watts throws what little musical confidence he had.

Trying not to be overshadowed by the real musicians he works with, and struggling to cope with guests being cancelled during live recordings, the first ever World’s Strongest Musician competition, desperate corporate awards and a haunted tv studio, Alex is insistent that the show must go on.   

Calmly steering the ship is production extraordinaire Thora (Desiree Burch) who does her best to keep the show on air amid the chaos and in the face of Channel 4 exec Ash (Georgia Tennant) being generally obstructive, her admirably lazy TV researcher and niece Lucy (Camille Ucan) barely looking away from her phone, and intern runner Nelly (Tim Mahendren) being perpetually flustered.

Despite his international success, John Oliver is still keen to make it as a musical comedian and desperate to be part of the band, while the phenomenal Reggie Watts is in the UK after his residency on James Corden’s late night show comes to an end and is booked to make a one-off appearance that leaves a lasting impression that almost everyone is dazzled by.  

The Horne Section TV Show series 2 airs from 10pm on Thursday 22nd May, along with the entire box set available on Channel 4
