The Christmas special won’t be the last of the sitcom after all. Fans have been waiting years for the finale to much-loved sitcom Gavin and Stacey, but the Christmas episode will not mark the end of the franchise. The hit TV series aired between 2007 and 2010 and returned in 2019 with a one-off festive special that ended on a cliffhanger when Ruth Jones’s character Nessa proposed to Corden’s character Smithy.

Fans have been waiting nearly five years for Smithy’s response – as the episode ended before he had the chance to reply. Gavin and Stacey: The Finale will air on Christmas Day. But now James Corden, who plays Smithy, and Ruth Jones, who plays Nessa, have revealed the show’s story will continue in a new book to be published in Autumn 2025.

When Gavin Met Stacey and Everything in Between : A Story Of Love and Friendship will mark the first time the pair will share how they turned their comedy show into a mainstay of British television. “The show has played a huge part in our twenty-five-year friendship and we hope this book will give readers a fresh insight into how it all came about.”.
Bill Scott-Kerr from publisher Transworld said: “We are so excited to be publishing this joyous book. Seeing the creative chemistry between Ruth and James up close is an inspiration in itself and a real insight into the fission which made Gavin and Stacey the cultural phenomenon that it is.”.
