Dave Commits to More Yianni: Supercar Customiser

UKTV’s entertainment channel Dave has ordered a second installment of Yianni: Supercar Customiser, an original series presented by famed car wrapper Yianni Charalambous.

The 20×30-minute sophomore season will continue to follow the titular social media sensation—who has more than 1 million subscribers on YouTube—as he showcases his customizations for entertainment and sports personalities. The series is made by Barcroft Productions, with Peter Wyles serving as executive producer. It has been one of the most-watched shows on streaming service UKTV Play this year.

Charalambous commented: “I had a fantastic time filming series one and am so excited to be back for a second series on Dave. I like to push myself when working on projects and series one went down so well [that] I need series two to be even better. It’s shaping up to include more extraordinary cars being transformed by my wonderful team. I can’t wait for everyone to see the results!”

Hilary Rosen, UKTV’s deputy director of commissioning, noted: “Yianni has star quality. He’s a truly engaging new talent and Barcroft delivered a superb first series. I’m delighted to be working with them again and I’m looking forward to heading back to the garage and seeing what Yianni and his team are planning to deliver this time around.”

Luke Hales, Dave’s channel director, stated: “Yianni’s energy and the characters at the garage proved to be must-see TV for a whole host of new viewers for Dave. Returning to the garage, we will see how life has changed for Yianni as his profile and that of his clients continues to grow. Expect to see some wraps that will blow the doors off.”

Wyles added: “We are really excited to be back for another series. Yianni’s infectious personality has resonated with a whole new audience on Dave, while also giving his own loyal followers an opportunity to see much more of him. The new series will feature great new characters and stories, a bunch of familiar faces and a host of celebrities.”
