Byker Grove is returning to BBC. The UK network is reviving the teen drama series that premiered over 30 years ago. The series ended in 2000, and two original cast members are on board for the revival. The original series premiered in 1989.
It was reported that Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are at the helm for the revival, and it will take fans to the youth club to show life for a new group of teens. The new series will have its title shortened to Byker.
Donnelly said the following about the revival, per Variety:
“Byker Grove will always be very special to us as the show which gave us our break, so we are beyond excited to be working together with Fulwell 73 on bringing it back. We are looking forward to bringing this fresh incarnation to a whole new generation as well as those who remember it as fondly as we do.”
McPartlin added, “We owe such a lot to ‘Byker Grove’ and the North East so we can’t wait to start working with Fulwell 73 and the team to bring this iconic series back to life. Already talking characters and storylines has us all buzzing at the possibilities ahead.”
The premiere date for this series will be announced later.
