The BBC has announced two high-profile cast additions for its popular comedy-drama 'Boarders'. Alan Cumming ('The Traitors US') and Natalie Cassidy ('EastEnders') will join the returning series for its second season, set to premiere on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer in February. The series follows five black scholarship students at the prestigious St. Gilbert's boarding school, where their scholarships appear more for public image than academic merit.
The BBC has announced two stellar additions to the cast of its popular comedy-drama Boarders for its second outing: The Traitors US' Alan Cumming and EastEnders icon Natalie Cassidy . The series, brought to life by BAFTA-nominated creator Daniel Lawrence Taylor, is gearing up for a highly-anticipated return to BBC Three and BBC iPlayer come this February.
Natalie shared her enthusiasm about joining the show with the BBC: "I loved series one of Boarders and was so thrilled to be asked to appear in series two. There is such talent amongst all the cast and crew and I loved playing a very eccentric teacher. Don't miss it!" Madeleine Sinclair, the series' executive producer, echoed Daniel's excitement about the stellar new cast members: "To have the calibre of actors in Natalie and Alan to join Boarders this season is testament to Daniel's writing and the success of the show both in the UK on the BBC and in the US on TUBI. We can't wait to see how they are welcomed by our Boarders audiences.
