‘Desi Rascals’ shifts to Sky 1; returns this month

The unscripted Asian drama ‘Desi Rascals’ returns for its second season later this month and shifts to flagship channel, Sky 1.

‘Desi Rascals’, which previously aired on Sky Living, averaged around 80,000 viewers during the first season. It sparked interest amongst many Asians who flocked to the channel just for the heavily promoted series.

Celia Taylor, Head of Non Scripted, Sky commented, ���I�۪m thrilled to confirm Desi Rascals will be returning for a second series, it�۪s really raised the bar for non-scripted drama. We�۪re very proud of the show which has attracted a loyal audience over the last six weeks due to its totally addictive nature and we look forward to re-joining the cast for more laughs, tears and heart-warming moments later in the year.�۝

‘The Only Way Is Essex’ star Jasmin Walia and boyfriend, Ross Worswick and’The Apprentice’ star Solomon Akhtaris will also be a part of the new series.

‘Desi Rascals’ will air weekly on Sky 1 on Wednesday nights, from 22nd July.
