BBC Rings Bell On ‘Waterloo Road’ Double Season Order
The BBC has greenlit two more seasons of school drama Waterloo Road, taking the show up to at least 2026. Old seasons of Waterloo Road became popular over lockdown on iPlayer and the show was subsequently revived by Rope Ladder Fiction and Wall to Wall North. It follows the day-to-day goings-on of teachers and pupils in a school in the north of England. Filming has just begun on the new series in Greater Manchester, which is in addition to the two upcoming eight-part series of Waterloo Road that have already filmed and will air on BBC iPlayer and BBC One this September and early next year. “It’s incredibly rewarding to see Waterloo Road go from strength to strength – both creatively on screen, where it remains hugely popular with viewers of all ages, as well as behind the scenes developing the next generation of exciting UK television talent,” said BBC drama boss Lindsay Salt.
