Claudia Winkleman, Mika and Lang Lang are back on the hunt for Britain's best amateur pianist.
Channel 4's reality show The Piano was a breakout hit from last year, becoming a favourite with viewers and landing a BAFTA nomination in the Memorable Moment category.
The first season was followed up by a Christmas special at the end of last year, and now we know exactly when the show will be returning for its second full season.
Season 2 of The Piano will officially start airing on Sunday 28th April at 9pm on Channel 4, meaning there really isn't too long left for fans to wait.
The new season will once again see Claudia Winkleman hosting, while judges Mika and Lang Lang will also be back.
However, this new run will consist of seven episodes, rather than five.
The series sees amateur pianists battling it out for the chance to perform at the Royal Festival Hall, with season 1 having been won by Lucy Illingworth.
