BBC confirms Waterloo Road return date as familiar face makes comeback to drama

Long-running BBC drama Waterloo Road will return later this month and a new - but familiar face - will be joining the cast.

After eight years away, Waterloo Road returned with a cast made up of old and new characters earlier this year and the second series of the rebooted drama will air on BBC One later this month.

The new series will consist of seven episodes and the broadcaster have released a host of spoiler images to give an insight into the drama that will take place in the second batch of episodes.

One new pupil will cause fireworks with their arrival while secrets some hoped would stay buried forever will come to the surface.

Former deputy head, and ex lover of head teacher Kim Campbell (Angela Griffin), Andrew Treneman (Jamie Glover) will return to the BBC drama but it's unclear whether sparks will fly between the two once again.

New boy Myles (Osian Morgan) joins the school at a difficult time in his life after being let go by a football Academy as he struggles to deal with his return to mainstream education.

Fans of the long-running drama will be able to get all the behind the scenes gossip with Waterloo Road – The Official Podcast, hosted by Adam Thomas and Priyasasha Kumari.

The returning podcast will launch on BBC Sounds on Saturday May 6, with celebrity guests and the Waterloo Road cast looking back at the show’s legacy.

Speaking about his return, Jamie Glover, previously said: "I am so excited to be returning to Waterloo Road . The school has been such an important part of my life and it’s wonderful to be able to rekindle the old flame.

"Not to mention the joy of getting to work with the incomparable Angela Griffin once more.

"I hope that people will enjoy seeing Andrew and Kim together in the school again. Older? Certainly, there's the grey hair to prove it…! Wiser? Who knows?"

Also joining the show are Benidorm's Paul Bazely and Coronation Street's Jenny Platt as parents of pupils, as well as Corrie's Olwen May and James Quinn.

Adam Thomas (Donte Charles), Kym Marsh (Nicky Walters), Vincent Jerome (Lindon King), James Baxter (Joe Casey), Jo Coffey (Wendy Whitwell), Shauna Shim (Valerie Chambers), Neil Fitzmaurice (Neil Guthrie), Rachel Leskovac (Coral Walker), Katherine Pearce (Amy Spratt), Ryan Clayton (Mike Rutherford) and Sonia Ibrahim (Jamilah Omar) will be returning to the drama.
