The show is created and written by, and stars, Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond. Produced by Working Title Television, the series will be internationally distributed by Sky Vision. Filming will begin this spring.<\/p>\n<p>Fry plays Cuddly Dick, a former Elder who returns to Yonderland having been imprisoned for years by the now-dead Imperatrix. Cuddly Dick is a charming eccentric who loves nothing more than to spread love and kindness (as well as plenty of hugs and kisses).<\/p>\n<p>Adam MacDonald, director of Sky 1, said: \u201cAfter two successful series, it\u2019s extremely exciting to be bringing back <em>Yonderland<\/em> to Sky 1 for a third adventure. The creative team and cast are exceptionally talented and this weirdly wonderful show is well-loved by our audience. With the brilliant addition of Stephen Fry, this is a comedic treat for the whole family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Working Title Television\u2019s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner said: &#8220;We are delighted to be bringing <em>Yonderland<\/em> back for a third series. In Cuddly Dick, our incredibly talented writers have created a very funny and surprising character to add to the other assorted idiots of <em>Yonderland<\/em>, and to have Stephen Fry joining to the team to play him is the icing on the cake. We could not be more pleased.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The creators of <em>Yonderland<\/em> remarked: \u201cAs such huge fans of Stephen, we are all hysterically excited\u2014and, yes, a little nervous\u2014to be welcoming him to the mad world of <em>Yonderland<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: Stephen Fry has joined the cast of the Sky 1 fantasy comedy series Yonderland for its third season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":6427,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[122,123,124],"class_list":["post-6426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-sky-1","tag-stephen-fry","tag-yonderland"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
