Dyer Duo's Caravan Show Gets Early Second Series Approval from Sky
In a remarkable television industry move, Danny and Dani Dyer have secured a second series for their caravan park reality show before the first season has even aired on Sky. The father and daughter television duo have made significant investments in two Kent holiday parks – Priory Hill and Nutts Farm Holiday Park – as they attempt to manage their own holiday business venture for the broadcaster.
Sky's Confidence in the Dyer Family Project
According to reports from The Sun, Sky executives have been so impressed with the initial caravan park series that they didn't hesitate to commission another run before viewers have had the opportunity to watch the debut season. A television industry source revealed the broadcaster's enthusiasm for the project, stating that Sky recognized the Dyers' potential to connect with audiences.
'Sky are so impressed with the Dyers' first caravan park series, and are sure it will go down well with viewers, that they didn’t waste any time ordering another series,' the source explained. 'Danny is hot property at the moment so they knew that if they didn’t book him up they might lose him to another project.'
The show is scheduled to premiere later this year, with Danny and Dani aiming to revive the British holiday tradition in what Sky describes as 'suitably chaotic fashion.'
Challenges of Reviving the Caravan Industry
Despite their ambitious goal of 'breathing new life into the caravan industry,' the Dyers face numerous practical challenges in their new business venture. The production will document plumbing issues, difficult customers, and the struggle to reinvent the park's restaurant menu – all while managing two substantial holiday properties.
Nutts Farm Caravan Park contains approximately 182 privately owned caravans, while Priory Hill features at least 105 static caravans. The scale of their investment reflects their commitment to the project and their belief in the enduring appeal of traditional British holidays.
Personal Connections to Caravan Holidays
Danny Dyer has spoken openly about his personal nostalgia for caravan holidays, which inspired his involvement in the project. During an appearance on the Table Manners podcast, he reminisced about childhood vacations that shaped his appreciation for simple family getaways.
'Nostalgia is important for me. Every holiday, I used to go to Canvey Island at a place called Thorney Bay Beach Camp,' Danny recalled. 'My whole family were together, no phones, no laptops – it was the 80s. We used to hook up for a week, walk along the sea wall do crabbing, go to the arcades, and have a bit of candy floss. I used to think it was like Disney World.'
He added: 'Now, I want to bring caravan holidays back. Mine is in Leysdown in Kent. The caravans are all static ones, it's got some charm about it – but it does need a lick of paint.'
Father-Daughter Dynamic and Project Risks
Dani Dyer expressed her enthusiasm for joining her father in this unconventional business venture, though both acknowledge the potential for failure alongside the possibility of success.
'My dad wants to get involved in the caravan park and I'm all in: I love a caravan, so why not?' Dani told Sky. 'My dad is a very friendly person – he's good at bringing everyone in - but has he got what it takes to make a success of this? I think he has, just so long as people don’t decide to go to Magaluf.'
Danny himself acknowledged the gamble, admitting the project could be 'a triumph or a complete failure.'
Danny Dyer's Concurrent Acting Projects
The caravan park series comes as Danny Dyer prepares for another significant television role in Channel 4's upcoming thriller The Siege. The 48-year-old actor will portray hero police officer Trevor Lock in the six-part series based on the real 1980 Iranian Embassy siege in London.
Ian Katz, Chief Content Officer of Channel 4, described the project as 'a heart-stopping, emotional thriller that reveals the little-known motivations of the hapless hostage-takers and the very human reality of what went on inside the embassy.' The drama has been adapted by Slow Horses creator Will Smith from Ben Macintyre’s best-selling book The Siege.
The Dyers' caravan park show is set to air on Sky this month across six episodes, with the second series already in development thanks to the broadcaster's early vote of confidence in the family venture.
