BBC Rings Bell On ‘Waterloo Road’ Double Season Order

The BBC has greenlit two more seasons of the school drama Waterloo Road, ensuring the show will continue through at least 2026. Previously popular seasons of Waterloo Road gained traction over lockdown on iPlayer, leading to the show’s revival by Rope Ladder Fiction and Wall to Wall North. The series chronicles the daily lives of teachers and students in a school in northern England. Filming has commenced on the new series in Greater Manchester. This is in addition to two upcoming eight-part series of Waterloo Road that have already completed filming 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.
