OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Waterloo Road’ is to return for a further two series.
The BBC has recommissioned the drama show for an extra pair of seasons, in addition to the eight-part series that is already on the way, following a “triumphant return”.
Cameron Roach, executive producer of Waterloo Road and Founder of Rope Ladder Fiction, said: “We’re beyond thrilled with the triumphant return of ‘Waterloo Road’, and so thankful to the BBC for committing to the show so fully.
“We love that the show has the potential not only to be a crown jewel for BBC iPlayer, but also serve as a true beacon for training, and inspiring next generation talent.
“In addition to our open auditions and full-time production trainee placements for industry newcomers, our workshops across Greater Manchester this Summer for 14-16 year olds, in partnership with BBC Young Reporter, have truly demonstrated the infectious power of this show.”
The show initially ran on the BBC from 2006 to 2015, and it returned at the beginning of the year with the likes of Angela Griffin and Adam Thomas reprising their roles as Kim Campbell and Donte Charles respectively.
Two series have aired this year, and three more are now on the way.
Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, says: “It’s been a joy to see ‘Waterloo Road’ return to the BBC this year, delighting new and returning fans with its fantastic ensemble of relatable characters and a winning mix of heart, humour and high drama.
“It’s been especially exciting to see the new boxsets prove so popular on iPlayer, and to see the next brilliant generation of acting and production talent break into the industry via their work on the series.
“Life’s never dull for the staff and pupils at Waterloo Road, and there’s a lot more drama to come!”
The next series of ‘Waterloo Road’ has already filmed and will premiere on BBC One and iPlayer early next year.
