Waterloo Road WILL be back for a third series!!!
From the TV Mag with the Sun (in the TV Secrets section):
"Waterloo Road comprehensive may be struggling on the league table, but BBC1 has given theschool-set drama top marks. The hit show, which stars Jason Merrells and Angela Griffin, will return later this year with a 20-part third series." Excellent news. I read this in one of Shed Productions reports earlier this year!

Good good
![]() Episode number seems to be growing and growing per series. I just hope the BBC don't order too many episodes because it ruins shows if they run for ages. |

I hope they don't do a Holby City and Casualty on us and end up with 52 episodes!

I don't think we will end up with 52 episodes, but it will be good to see it a bit longer.

This is great news! I just hope that the amount of episodes for Series 3 doesn't effect the quality of the show. I would hate for it to become like Casualty or Holby where it is shown all year round!

Fabulous!
This year too! They're gonna have to film it pretty damn fast. I hope the major cast - Steph, Kim & Andrew in particular - stay for the next series.

I like Waterloo Road and I think it works so well because it takes breaks a year long thing like Holby will destroy it like it has for holby imo. I loved holby but now it's on every single week so theres no time to have a break and anticipate new eps.
Though I guess you can be glad WR is set in a school cos every year it'd have to have at least 8 weeks off for summer holidays and stuff. |

I wish they wouldn't go all american on us and have 20+ weeks. It ends up with us having to endure many filler episodes just to get to the good bits. |

We dont have many shows that run to American season proportions, here in the UK. The only other I can think of is Heartbeat, at 26 eps per series.

I read this in one of Shed Productions reports earlier this year!20 episodes? Pffft. They dont even give Dr.Who more than 13 episodes and thats their current flagship show. |
