If anything though, I'm glad there isn't a second season. It makes the show feel even more authentic as a "rare, recently discovered set of episodes never before seen by the public." Another season would be harder to pull off, especially with Dean getting rid of the episodes in-universe.

There actually is a second series, but it’s not Darkplace. It’s called Man to Man With Dean Learner. It’s a piss-take on Playboy at Night, hosted by Learner (Ayoade) and the first guest is Garth Marenghi. Matthew Holeness plays a different guest on each episode. Matt Berry shows up too.

Matt does such a wonderful James Mason voice. I love hearing the nonsense he spouts in that voice....it's guaranteed to make me laugh. It's too bad that James Mason is gone,such a great actor, but so long as Matt is working it's kinda like he's still around. Knowing that James Mason was a great sport with a mischievous sense of humor, I think that it is absolutely a tragedy that he and Matt never had a chance to work together....it would have been magical.
