Following an impressive start on E4, Commissioning Editor, David Williams has greenlit a second series of hit reality-drama, Made in Chelsea from Monkey Kingdom.

The first episode of Made in Chelsea was E4's highest rated non-scripted programme debut and the most tweeted about show on Channel 4 in 2011, recording 1.8m tweets since the series started in May. 

Series one, which ends after an 8-week run on Monday, currently averages 735k viewers and a 3.8% audience share, an increase of 9% on the slot average.  Last week's episode saw overnight viewing figures jump by 32% from the previous week to a series high of 696k.

Commissioning Editor, David Williams said: "In addition to delivering great audiences, Episode 1 trended worldwide on Twitter and Made in Chelsea has been a phenomenal success on our online catch up service, 4OD.  The staggering amount of audience engagement has proven it to be a perfect fit for E4's young audience." 

Executive Producer, Sarah Dillistone adds: "Made in Chelsea has proven addictive viewing for UK audiences, a testament to our brilliant cast and their extraordinary lives. We are excited to give fans the opportunity to delve deeper into these characters' relationships next season. The tremendous response online shows how E4's audience are consuming and engaging with content, and they have made Made in Chelsea into one of the most talked about shows of the year."

Made in Chelsea is made by Monkey Kingdom, part of NBCUniversal International.
