The BBC has officially confirmed that Waterloo Road will return for series 18 in January 2027. Fans of the long-running school drama have been wondering when the latest batch of episodes will hit our screens, but the release date as now been revealed as early next year.
This announcement comes alongside the news that Waterloo Road has been recommissioned for another new series. With series 19 already confirmed, series 20 is also in the pipeline and filming on these episodes is now underway in Greater Manchester.
It was previously announced that the episodes airing in January will see the return of original cast member Chelsee Healey as Janeece Bryant, with Lauren Hylton joining the show as student Cheryl, Janeece’s daughter.
There are more new faces in the classroom this January as well, and it was announced earlier this year that joining the student cast in the next series are Leo Ashton (Liam Shaw), Callum Broome (Nathan Clark), Yousef Naseer (Ibrahim Azzi), Lewis Pemberton (Cane Morris) and Keelan Wright (Marshall Clark).
Cameron Roach, the show’s executive producer, said in a statement about the news: "When we brought Waterloo Road back, we were hopeful of a long-term future, so to be commissioned for a tenth series of the reboot really is an incredible achievement and testament to the exceptional creative team, cast and crew.
To have evolved a sustainable base for training and development of crew with our partners at Screen Manchester has been central to our mission and ensures clear pathways for new entrants into the sector.
"Above all, we thank the fans of the show who, series after series, are asking for more. It drives us all to be creatively ambitious for the iconic world of Waterloo Road."
"We look forward to seeing what the next chapter holds for the pupils and staff of Waterloo Road and can’t wait for the series to return this January."
"I'm at the chapter where I've found my one."
Former EastEnders star Tony Discipline recently outlined his intentions to marry Shona McGarty, and it looks to have been a wise move as McGarty herself has returned the favour in a new interview.
The pair, who played Tyler Moon and Whitney Dean on the BBC soap respectively, confirmed earlier this year that they were in a relationship, with the announcement coming after fans had speculated about their bond for months.
And it seems that the couple are very much loved-up, with McGarty telling Closer (via The Sun): "I'm really happy, I've honestly found my one. Tony is the ultimate gentleman and he treats me like a queen."
While she sang his praises, McGarty also expressed her desire to marry her former co-star, noting: "I'd marry him tomorrow! In my book of life, I've got all these chapters that are part of my story but now I'm at the chapter where I've found my one."
Her words come just days after Discipline echoed the adorable sentiment, with the actor saying that he "absolutely" intended to tie the knot with the woman that he described as his "soulmate".
"That's the love of my life," he said as he attended one of his partner's West End productions. "I've known her [for] a long time. We've always had partners, so we never stepped over the line. But in the last year or so our chemistry has really come to light.
While Discipline and McGarty are very much happy away from Walford, there's love - and trouble - in the air for some characters on the soap itself, with Mark Fowler and Lauren Branning's affair being discovered by Ned Hawkins.
