There has been a fantastic response to the show not only from viewers and critics but also from international partners such as Tubi, who – following the success of series one – quickly joined as coproducer for the second instalment. With a new series now available, we expect to see even more broadcasters signing this high-energy, coming-of-age comedy-drama very soon.”

Boarders has been so well received wherever it airs, and we can’t wait to welcome new fans into the world of St Gilbert’s as our five leads navigate a new term of challenges in series two.”
