Press Release
The BBC has recommissioned hit drama Waterloo Road for two further new series, it was announced today. Made by Rope Ladder Fiction and Wall to Wall North for BBC One and iPlayer, the new two-series order is in addition to the next series (8x60’) which has already been filmed, meaning that three new series of Waterloo Road are on the way.
Filming on the two newly-commissioned 8x60’ series will begin in Greater Manchester this autumn, and further details will be announced in due course.
Waterloo Road initially ran on the BBC between 2006 and 2015, and following its breakout success on BBC iPlayer during lockdown it returned with new episodes at the start of 2023 with a cast including Angela Griffin, Adam Thomas and Kym Marsh among the school staff, and an ensemble of exciting newcomers and rising stars as pupils. Two new series have aired this year. Waterloo Road remains especially popular on BBC iPlayer, where it is in the top three most-watched titles of the year so far for 16-34 year olds, alongside Happy Valley and EastEnders.
