BBC hit with 100% Rotten Tomatoes score gets season 2 first look

BBG News

As a lover of gripping teen dramas with a twist, I must say that the upcoming season of Boarders has piqued my interest like no other! Having grown up watching shows that portrayed boarding school life, this series feels refreshingly modern and diverse. The lives of five Black students navigating a predominantly white school is not only captivating but also resonates with the experiences of many young people today.

The BBC has unveiled a new look at the return of teen drama Boarders.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’d rephrase it like this: In my world, I’m immersed in a new series created by Daniel Lawrence Taylor, which brings to life the experiences of five brilliant Black students who secure scholarships to attend the predominantly white boarding school known as St. Gilbert’s.

At the boarding school, the teenagers are determined to seize every opportunity and maximize their experience, unaware that their invitation to St. Gilbert’s was merely a publicity ploy aimed at generating favorable media attention for the school.

During the second term at St. Gilbert, the students orchestrated an uprising which resulted in Headmaster Bernard being placed on leave. However, this shift in authority doesn’t necessarily simplify life for our new students.

Previously known “Call the Midwife” actress Niky Wardley portrays Carol Watlington-Geese, who assumes the role of headmaster at the school; her initial mission involves attempting to move transfer students away from St. Gilbert.

Speaking about it, creating the latest season of ‘Boarders‘ has been an amazing journey, particularly since we’ve added some fresh actors to the team, making it even more thrilling! (Daniel Lawrence Taylor)

As a dedicated viewer, I must say it’s been pure delight witnessing the cast slip back into their characters, making it seem like they’ve just stepped out for a moment instead of years. Here’s hoping you savor this next installment of the series just as much as we’ve relished in its creation!

In the upcoming episodes, Supacell’s character Josh Tedeku will be portrayed once more by him as Jaheim Marsham. Meanwhile, Harry Gilby, known for his role in The Last Kingdom, will again play Jaheim’s longtime adversary (and new headmaster Carol’s son) Rupert. Additionally, Jodie Campbell, Myles Kamwendo, Aruna Jalloh, and Sekou Diaby are all set to reappear in the series as well.

Fresh faces joining the cast are Wunmi Mosaku, known for her role in Loki, playing Jaheim’s mother named Grace, and Cara Theobold, recognized from Downton Abbey, taking on the character of the school’s resident writer Jude.

Madeleine Sinclair, executive producer at Studio Lambert who oversees “Boarders,” expressed her excitement about the second season’s cast: “We couldn’t be more delighted with our actors for ‘Boarders’ season 2. Both the familiar faces returning and the fresh new talents will undoubtedly charm viewers. Daniel’s scripts continue to be both humorous and thought-provoking, and our skillful cast does an exceptional job of bringing them to life.

The inaugural season of “Boarders” garnered exceptional praise from critics at the BBC, achieving an uncommon 100% Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes, thanks to its unique and humorous exploration of the topic.

Viewers looking forward to the second season of the show can expect its comeback next year, airing both on BBC Three and the BBC iPlayer. For those eager to catch up, the whole first season is currently available for streaming on the iPlayer.
