About the renewal, Philip said:
"Looking forward to continuing living our dream, and teaching the residents on the RV park how to make a proper brew!!"
Lesley Sharp added:
I'm very much looking forward to continuing the American dream with Phil, Rosie and Brenock. Can't wait to return to the land where dreams come true?
Adam MacDonald, director of Sky One commented:
It's a great pleasure to take Sky One viewers back to the sunshine state in 2018. Season one made stars of the Pembertons and in season two they'll earn their stripes. But will the locals let them? Watch this space, or as Mal might unadvisedly say... 'see you later alligator'
Series 2 of Living The Dream will be shown on Sky One and streaming service NOW TV later in 2018.
