'Horne and Corden', which stars Mathew Horne and James Corden from 'Gavin and Stacey', is a six-part series featuring a host of new characters, including Jonny and Lee Miller -- two flamboyant magicians whose magic is left to the audience's imagination.
The double act will be joined on BBC Three by sketch comedy group 'We are Klang', who are set to star in a new studio show.
is also making a major push into original drama this season. Following a pilot broadcast in February last year, a full six-part series of 'Being Human' will begin later this month.
The series follows 20-something housemates who are trying to live normal lives despite suffering from very unusual afflictions -- one is a werewolf, one is a vampire and one is a ghost.
Another new drama called 'P.A.s' is also scheduled. The show follows the lifestyle of four young personal assistants working in the City.
BBC Three also is also promoting a number of new factual programmes. Current affairs strand 'Born Survivors' returns with a series of documentaries in which young people forced to live with serious issues reveal their strategies for survival.
A separate documentary series called 'Belief Season' will explore the surprising ways in which religious faith can impact on the lives of young people.
The broadcaster is also set to embark on a search to discover the unsung young heroes of professions that do not tend to attract public recognition, such as butchers, hairdressers and chefs.
'Young Butcher Of The Year 2009' will air alongside the 'Young Hairdresser Of The Year' and 'Young Chef Of The Year'.
Danny Cohen, controller of BBC Three, said: "We've built strong foundations since the revamp last year -- with the emphasis on new comic talent, thought-provoking factual programmes, and a joined-up multiplatform approach.
"We're determined to maintain that momentum and hold true to these values by offering a fresh slate of original programmes firmly targeted at young people."
