Derek Jacobi and Ian McKellen are reuniting for one final "Vicious" special - which will premiere first in the US.

PBS in the US has set a series finale date for Sunday June 19 at - although ITV has yet to schedule Vicious's end date for the UK, reported Digital Spy.

Teasing that Jacobi and McKellen are "more vicious than ever", a hilarious promo has the duo getting up to some kinky fun, when they're not insulting anyone and everyone around them.

ITV commissioned - and filmed - this final "Vicious" episode late last year, the first full episode to air since last July.
 

However, Jacobi and McKellen briefly reprised their characters more recently for a comedy insert at May's Eurovision Song Contest.

The bawdy comedy is a collaboration of playwright Mark Ravenhill and Will & Grace executive producer Gary Janetti.
