Delicious is a series that premiered on Sky 1 on 30 December 2016.[2] Written by Dan Sefton and directed by Clare Kilner and John Hardwick,[3] the four-part first series aired on Sky 1 from December 2016 to January 2017. Sky renewed the show for a second series in February 2017.[1] The second series aired on Sky 1 from Friday, 29 December 2017. On 13 February 2018, it was announced that Delicious had been renewed for a third season.[4]

The series is predominantly filmed in South East Cornwall with Pentillie Castle[5] featuring as Leo's Penrose Hotel. While many of the exterior shots are filmed at Pentillie Castle, the interiors can be found at a number of other country houses including Port Eliot and Boconnoc. Some scenes were filmed in Calstock on the river Tamar, and include scenes in and around Lishe, a local tea room. On 23 June 2019, Dawn French confirmed the show would not be coming back for a fourth season.[6]
