Fate of BBC’s Waterloo Road revealed after epic comeback hit with mixed reviews
As a devoted fan of Waterloo Road since its inception in 2006, I can hardly contain my excitement as the legendary BBC One series is set to return for not one, but four new series! After being axed in 2015 and making a triumphant comeback during the first COVID lockdown last year, this gritty, thought-provoking show has once again captured the hearts of viewers.
1. After getting mixed reactions, the future of BBC One’s Waterloo Road has been disclosed following its grand return.
In 2015, the program was initially canceled. However, during the initial COVID-19 lockdown in 2023, there was a surge in viewership. As a result, the show made a comeback to our screens after an eight-year absence.
2006 saw the debut of a television series aimed at high school audiences, which quickly gained a massive following due to its thoughtful exploration of various challenging topics throughout its 200 episodes.
It has now been reported the famed TV show is being renewed for a further two series.
And after the show had a double recommission last year, it means four new series are on the way.
2021 is set to bring the 14th installment of the series, featuring Jason Manford in his debut role as principal Steve Savage.
Fans are left wondering what lies ahead for the current headmistress, Kim Campbell, played by Angela Griffin.
1. Regarding his new position, Jason expressed: “It’s such a delight to become part of the cast and team at Waterloo Road, directly in my hometown, Manchester.”
During the lockdown, my children and I watched an incredible, legendary show on iPlayer in marathon sessions. I’m incredibly proud to have contributed to its history by being a part of it now. As a kid, I dreamed of becoming a teacher, and now that I’ve become a headteacher, I realize I wouldn’t have made a great one!
1. “Cameron Roach, head of Waterloo Road production and founder of Rope Ladder Fiction, expressed his excitement: ‘We’re overjoyed that Jason Manford will be part of Waterloo Road as we launch a new season on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.'”
Jason excels as a hilarious comedic actor on the show, perfectly capturing its mood and essence. We’re thrilled for viewers to be introduced to Steve Savage and his son Billy.
Just like our other grown-up actors, Jason serves as an inspiring and reachable role model for our younger cast and team members. We’re thrilled that up-and-coming artists from the North are gaining valuable experience by working alongside established stars in the industry.
‘The legacy of Waterloo Road goes from strength to strength’.
1. In addition to Adam Thomas portraying Donte Charles and Kym Marsh enacting Nicky Walters, both characters are set to reappear in the show again. (This paraphrase maintains the original meaning but uses simpler language and a more conversational tone.)
The program focuses on a greater Manchester high school and shares the struggles encountered by educators, guardians, and students.
1. Additionally, it brings attention to the challenges modern-day adolescents encounter, such as the high cost of living, dealing with their identities as part of the LGBTQ+ community, experiencing racism, sexism, and managing mental health issues.
In it’s initial return, it tackled the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on school kids.
1. Originally based in Rochdale, the gritty TV series (initially penned by the creators behind ITV’s Bad Girls prison drama) eventually moved its setting to Greenock, Scotland, as subsequent seasons unfolded.
