The former entertainer, 50, faces one count of rape and one of sexual assault of two more alleged victims
In a new statement, the police force said the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has authorised an additional charge of rape and a charge of sexual assault relating to two further women.
The broadcaster, comedian and actor previously pleaded not guilty to five charges including two counts of rape, two counts of sexual assault and one count of indecent assault in relation to four women.
Mr Brand, 50, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 20 January 2026 in relation to the two new charges.
Detectives began investigating allegations into Mr Brand which came to light following reporting from the Sunday Times, the Times and Channel 4’s Dispatches in September 2023.
Wearing a denim shirt with a number of buttons undone, Brand spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth during the six-minute hearing.
He was granted bail to appear at Southwark Crown Court on February 17.
In relation to the five original charges, Brand is due to face a trial at the same court later this year.
Brand was married to US pop singer Katy Perry from 2010 to 2012 but is now married to Laura Gallacher, the sister of presenter Kirsty, and the pair have two children, Mabel and Peggy.
