More Malory Towers Episodes on Order

King Bert and WildBrain have been commissioned by CBBC in the U.K. and Canada’s Family Channel to produce an additional 26 episodes of the live-action series Malory Towers in association with BYUtv in the U.S.

Malory Towers launched in March 2020 and has since been picked up by broadcast and streaming partners in more than a dozen territories. Shooting on the new episodes is slated to begin in the U.K. this spring and Canada this summer, with delivery targeted for later this year.

Deirdre Brennan, ‎executive VP of content partnerships at WildBrain, said: “We’ve had a phenomenal response to Malory Towers, both on our own Family Channel in Canada and from international partners. Even though Darrell Rivers was created 75 years ago, she is an inspiring character, full of spirited independence that keeps these stories relatable and relevant. We’re delighted that so many partners are joining us to share more of her experiences with young audiences worldwide.”

Jo Sargent, managing director of King Bert, said: “It was always important to us to make Malory Towers accessible and relatable to a modern audience, so we’re all absolutely thrilled that, in partnership with WildBrain and our broadcast partners, the series was so well received by fans old and new. We can’t wait to get back on set in Cornwall and Toronto and start filming the next set of adventures with the girls at Malory Towers.”

Amy Buscombe, commissioning editor at BBC Children’s, said: “Malory Towers has been a huge hit with our audience, bringing fun and adventure to our screens at a time our young audience needed it most. We can’t wait for viewers to see what Darrell and the Malory girls get up to next!”

Michael Dunn, managing director of BYUtv, said: “BYUtv is delighted to partner on new episodes of Malory Towers and looks forward to working with King Bert and WildBrain to bring the show back for its many fans in the U.S. and around the globe. At BYUtv, our vision is to create quality programming that young people and their parents will watch together, and Malory Towers delivers fully on that promise with excitement and emotions that transcend generations and appeal to all ages.”
