The Split's Damien Molony wants spin-off with his conman character

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com about the future of the show, Molony said: "Abi (Morgan, the writer) has plans, I think, afoot, but of the conventional three series that’s where it ends – but there might be spin-offs, or there might be other ways of telling those stories.

"It would be amazing (to do a Tyler spin-off). You could go all over the world with it. We always had jokes about where he’s gone – he’s probably in India, teaching yoga with a man bun, probably planning his next heist."

Season 3 of The Split ended with Tyler abandoning his plans to move into a property with Nina (Annabel Scholey) and her baby and heading to the airport, having stolen the money he gave her for a housing deposit.

"He’s a great character to play. I was at a birthday party for a five-year-old last weekend and someone came up to me to give me some food and she suddenly went, ‘I can’t speak to you. I can’t even look at you. How could you do that to her?!’ which is great," Molony said of his character's criminal actions.

"I’ve never been in a show like The Split where it becomes such a part of the audience where they can’t help but take everything so personally, and that’s a great testament to Abi’s writing," he added.

The show, which ended after three seasons, starred Nicola Walker as Hannah Stern – a divorce lawyer who works closely with her family and finds herself stuck in a love triangle between her barrister husband (Stephen Mangan's Nathan Stern) and her ex-boyfriend (Barry Atsma's Christie Carmichael).
