BBC One has ordered a sixth season of the BAFTA-winning docuseries Ambulance, produced by Dragonfly Film and Television.

The new installment will follow teams in London, where the series began, featuring the work of the ambulance staff—including returning favorites and new faces—in the capital city. Cameras will track the new teams from the London Ambulance Service (LAS) as they face the life or death decisions that come with providing emergency medical care.

Beejal Patel, BBC Documentaries commissioning executive, said: “I’m thrilled that Ambulance is returning to BBC One for a sixth series. Taking their cameras and 360-degree storytelling to the busiest ambulance service could not be more timely and promises to bring a new dimension to the series as we see what crises the capital faces on a daily basis and the incredible work they do.”

Richard Bond, creative director of Dragonfly, said: “The NHS consistently faces unprecedented demands up and down the country and this new series will highlight how the ambulance staff cope with the challenges of the ever-growing and diverse city of London. We are delighted that LAS is trusting us to tell their story again as we capture their extraordinary work on the front line.”

Kim Shillinglaw, director of factual programming at Endemol Shine UK, added: “The audience response to the BAFTA-winning Ambulance has been amazing and we’re delighted the BBC are recommissioning it. Returning series allow us all to grow talent and skills and it’s fantastic to see the strategy of doubling down on investing in the quality of our returners paying off in this way.”
