Richard E Grant to check-in to Sky Atlantic again

Richard E Grant’s Hotel Secrets is to return to Sky Atlantic for a second series next year the broadcaster has announced.

The show sees the much-loved actor take an audacious endeavour to uncover the hidden secrets of the world’s most famous and infamous hotels. The second series will consist of six hour long editions to be recorded later this year.

Siobhan Mulholland, Commissioning Editor, Factual and Features for Sky said: “The combination of Richard’s infectious curiosity and appetite for adventure with rich, fascinating subject matter makes Hotel Secrets a unique travel series which we know Sky customers love so we’re delighted to be sending him off around the world for a second series.”

The intimately observed, decadent documentary series returns with its trademark combination of beautiful cinematography, revealing archive footage, illuminating interviews and deliciously witty insight from Richard E Grant as he explores a different city through its hotels in each episode.
With unparalleled access behind the scenes of the most exclusive and exotic hotels of Hong Kong, Tokyo, Venice, Berlin, New Orleans and Miami, the second series promises to deliver another dose of unadulterated escapism as its adventurous, secret-seeking host hops from hotel to hotel, one city at a time.

Commenting on the announcement, Richard E Grant said: “Sex, scandal, politics, history and culture – we learn so much about a city through its hotels and the characters who work and visit them so I’m absolutely thrilled to be exploring another six cities and teasing out their most revealing, most outrageous secrets in a brand new series of Hotel Secrets.”

Filming begins next month and will air on Sky Atlantic HD and Sky Atlantic in 2014.
