"The wonderful cast of characters and storylines has firmly established the show's popularity with the audience and I look forward to Bill and the team bringing us new stories from the world of Lark Rise in a third series," said Kate Harwood, Controller, Series and Serials.
Average audiences have been around the 6.4m viewer mark and the series has received a lot of positive feedback from both fans and press.
