It’s all happening for Chris Evans at the moment.

Last week he was officially confirmed as one of the new Top Gear hosts, and now Channel 4 are bringing back his Nineties TV series TFI Friday for an eight-episode run.

The show made a successful return with a one-off special on June 12 pulling in a peak of 4.3 million viewers, with Chris Evans returning to host. Guests on the special included Jeremy Clarkson, Blur, and Lewis Hamilton.

The unruly chat show is now confirmed to be coming back to Channel 4, with Evans set to host the new series despite his recent Top Gear deal.

Evans posted about the show’s return on Twitter:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Just written last chapter of new book. Had no idea it was going to start with a secret marathon and end with TFi Friday &amp; Top Gear. Onwards!— Chris Evans (@achrisevans) <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/achrisevans/status/613202201134166016" class="body-link" data-vars-item-name="BL-22086-https://twitter.com/achrisevans/status/613202201134166016" data-vars-event-id="c23">June 23, 2015</a>

Though a transmission date for the new series has not yet been announced, the new TFI Friday run is expected to air later in 2015 on Channel 4.
