Waterloo Road 2023: Start time, cast, how many episodes and new location – Liverpool Echo

Waterloo Road returns tonight on BBC One and iPlayer as some familiar faces are set to make an appearance.

As a new school year begins, a peaceful protest turns into a school riot and the events of the day will have huge ramifications for everyone involved.

Across the term, Waterloo Roads teachers and parents are going to have to learn on their feet as they try to navigate the ever-changing social landscape - from teen homelessness to the cost of living, being LGBTQ+, racism, sexism, mental health and everything else facing young teens today.

Amongst the chaos, the students, faculty and parents still make time for friendships, fun, and a few romances. The pupils have a lot to contend with this term, but they will learn to lean on one another to survive the year and try to stay out of detention as much as possible.

The first episode of Waterloo Road will air at 8pm for one hour. The following episodes will be weekly on BBC One.

The series will also be available to watch on iPlayer.

The series will consist of seven episodes.

The original show was filmed and set in Rochdale from series one until the end of series seven, and the Scottish town of Greenock from the beginning of series eight to series 10.

The new series returns to Greater Manchester.
