The BBC has confirmed that the new series of Waterloo Road will air on BBC One and iPlayer in January.
The 7x60minute series is filmed in Manchester and features Angela Griffin as Headteacher, Kim Campbell.
Alongside her staff, she’ll be dealing with a protest which turns into a riot, as well as navigating the social landscape, from homelessness and the cost of living, to racism, mental health and LGBTQ+.
