ITV2 head to Peckham

The residents of Peckham are about to be thrust into the limelight in a brand-new observational documentary series, for ITV2.

“Peckham’s Finest marks an exciting new direction for both ITV2 and ITV Hub. This precinct-based observational doc series with a talented and diverse cast will appeal to younger viewers both on the channel, and On Demand. The series is one of a number of new factual pieces commissioned under the ITV2 brand,” – Paul Mortimer, ITV’s Head of Digital Channels and Acquisitions

Produced by Bandicoot Scotland (part of Argonon Group) and premiering on ITV2 and ITV Hub, Peckham’s Finest will follow a diverse and aspirational group of young people from the area living everyday life in this eclectic pocket of London.

With the cameras capturing all aspects of their lives, from blossoming romances to doomed relationships, from new friendships to broken ties and new ventures to everyday dramas, we follow our unsung heroes as they attempt to make their way in the world, hoping to turn dreams into a reality. The series will bring a brand new, exciting and fresh approach that will reimagine the genre for today’s tech savvy TV viewers and reflect the real life of the cast combining filming with content from their social media.

Viewers will be able to follow the antics of our cast which include, a BMX coach, Radio DJ, fashion boutique owner, dance teacher and choreographer, body positive coach and influencer, drag performer, barista, street food chefs, a DJ and promoter and a salon owner.

“This is a project we are all hugely excited to be making. With a truly authentic, unique and diverse cast, the series will reflect life in Peckham in a way that our viewers can engage with and relate to. It promises stories full of warmth, humour and drama, told in a really contemporary way.” – Peter Tierney, Commissioning Editor, ITV2

Peckham’s Finest will air weekly on ITV2. Each episode can also be viewed on ITV Hub.
