Boarders Returning to Tubi

Tubi has picked up the second season of BBC’s Boarders and will remain the exclusive home of the series in North America and Latin America.

The series follows the lives of five talented Black teenagers from inner-city London as they navigate life at an elite boarding school. The second season will test how much they’re willing to sacrifice to stay, as the headmaster who brought them in is suspended and the new headmistress makes it clear she wants them gone.

The six-episode second season will be produced by Studio Lambert, in association with All3Media International, for the BBC and Tubi.

Written by BAFTA-nominated screenwriter Daniel Lawrence Taylor, the series stars Josh Tedeku, Jodie Campbell, Sekou Diaby, Myles Kamwendo and Aruna Jalloh. All will reprise their roles in the new season, alongside Harry Gilby, Tallulah Greive, Rosie Graham, Assa Kanouté and Niky Wardley.

Season one is now available to stream in full on Tubi in North America and on BBC iPlayer in the U.K.

“With such an incredible response from our viewers and critics alike after premiering the first season on Tubi, we are thrilled to be back in session with Boarders,” said Sam Harowitz, senior VP of content acquisitions and partnerships at Tubi. “Our belief in Daniel Lawrence Taylor’s compelling storytelling and the show’s phenomenal cast is underscored by our commitment to come on board as a co-producer this season as we continue to bring our audiences relevant and authentic stories that appeal to young and diverse viewers.”

“We were overwhelmed by the response to Boarders series one when it launched on Tubi in North America and LatAm—to have received the feedback from critics and American viewers alike was fantastic,” said Lawrence Taylor. “As you can imagine, we’re excited to be back at St Gilberts and on set with what I hope will be every bit as funny, thought-provoking and as well-received as the first series. We’re delighted to be working with the team at Tubi again.”

Madeleine Sinclair, creative director for scripted and executive producer at Studio Lambert, added, “Working with Tubi for season one elevated the reach of our Boarders cast to a wide and loyal audience. Daniel’s fantastic scripts are sure to continue to delight Tubi audiences in this second season—his blend of comedy and drama together with our talented cast once again make it irresistible viewing, and we can’t wait to share it with you.”
