Miniature Masters Craft Beloved Buildings Anew

The Marvellous Miniature Workshop has been commissioned for a substantial 20-episode order, with each episode now extended to 45 minutes. This new run significantly expands upon the first season's eight episodes. The show features a team of skilled miniaturists who meticulously recreate beloved buildings and locations, each holding special significance for contributors.

Sara Cox, the popular presenter of the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show, is returning to host the new series. The production is now managed by EarlyBird, a new outfit launched by the former Amazon MGM Studios UK unscripted chief, which has secured a first-look studio deal with Amazon. This move follows the show's successful initial season, which Bird was producing while at Amazon.

Executive producer Bird expressed delight in Sara Cox's return and the BBC's commission for EarlyBird. He highlighted that the extended episodes will allow viewers to delve deeper into the extraordinary artistry of the miniaturists and the show's unique ability to capture magic in the smallest details. Cox shared her enthusiasm, describing the program as the most heartwarming and wonderful she has ever been involved with. The series was commissioned by Rob Unsworth, with Rachel Platt serving as the commissioning editor. Bird and Stoker are executive producing for EarlyBird, and Phoebe Thompson developed the show.
