The comedy will be back one last term time…
The BBC has announced that comedy-drama Boarders, created and written by Daniel Lawrence Taylor, will return for a third and final term on BBC iPlayer and BBC Three. The six-part series features once again Jodie Campbell (Leah), Sekou Diaby (Toby), Aruna Jalloh (Femi), Myles Kamwendo (Omar) and Josh Tedeku (Jaheim) as they all reprise their roles for the final series, alongside writer and creator Daniel Lawrence Taylor who returns as their mentor Gus.
Taylor will also make his directorial debut this series, directing the final episode.
Filmed in Bristol, Boarders series three sees the South London teens back at St. Gilbert’s and the pressure is on. They’ve made it to their final term, exams are looming, and they’re determined to achieve big. As they dream of life beyond St. Gilbert’s, a neighbouring school – which also happens to be the one Abby is now attending – provokes an intense rivalry causing chaos and jeopardising their futures. With new enemies, love interests and broken friendship, our teens are forced to face a fresh batch of problems which threaten to trip them up at their final hurdle. What will it take for our scholarship kids to come out on top?
Returning cast from series two also include Niky Wardley (Carol), Assa Kanouté (Abby), Tallulah Greive (Beatrix), Rosie Graham (Florence), Georgina Sadler (Mabel), Zheng Xi Yong (Xiang), Archie Fisher (Cheddar), Andrew Harmon-Gray (Graham), Ruxandra Porojnicu (Yelena), Maxim Ays (Felix), Al Foran (Stanley), William Andrews (Mackers) and Yuriri Naka (Ms Kaneko), with more names to be announced in due course.
Boarders will be produced by Studio Lambert for the BBC, in association with All3Media International.
