After a successful first season, Boarders, a show made by Studio Lambert revolving around the lives lives of five Black students who join an elite private school, has been commissioned for a second series.
The hit comedy drama is created and written by BAFTA-nominated Daniel Lawrence Taylor, who said that he “cherished most about creating this series is showcasing Black experiences on screen and seeing how it resonates with everyone”.
“I’m especially excited to collaborate with the cast again; they are all budding superstars, and I’m overjoyed to see them bring my words to life once more! I can’t wait for you to see it!”
Journalist Molly-Rose Crossley, 35, who lives nearby, said she was “excited” to see what was being filmed in her area.
Crossley said: “While it can be disruptive to the small area, the hustle and bustle that filming brings is always fun.”
