After a eight year hiatus, Waterloo Road returned to screens on Tuesday night (January 3) for its much anticipated revival series. The BBC delighted fans in 2021 when it announced its popular school based drama, which ran from 2006 to 2015, would be returning for its 11th series.
The reboot of the award-winning series, which is once again filmed and set in Greater Manchester, features some original cast members including Adam Thomas and Katie Griffiths returning as much loved Donte and Chlo Charles, as well as Angela Griffin returning as Kim Campbell, who is now Waterloo Road's headteacher.
A bunch of famous faces have also joined the BBC show for the first time, including Coronation Street's Kym Marsh as Nicky Walters, a school canteen worker and mum to two pupils, and Hollyoaks and Corrie actress Rachel Leskovac as Coral Walker, head of English.
