Waterloo Road announces another returning character and full cast for next series

Waterloo Road has confirmed another familiar face returning for the next series of the show.

The hit BBC soap made its long-awaited return back in January, and it's now been confirmed that the next outing will be with fans in May on BBC One and iPlayer.

As part of the seven-episode second series, we will see a comeback from Jamie Glover's Andrew Treneman, who fans will remember as the former deputy head and English teacher.

Treneman was also the love interest of Angela Griffin's Kim Campbell – but is he back in the fold to help her take control of the school, or will he be stirring things up?

Alongside Glover's return, Waterloo Road has announced a number of new cast additions, including Benidorm's Paul Bazely and Coronation Street's Jenny Platt as parents of pupils, as well as Corrie's Olwen May and James Quinn, and Osian Morgan as new student Myles Massey.

Also joining as pupils are Summer Violet Bird (Tonya Walters), Ava Flannery (Verity King), Thapelo Ray (Dwanye Jackson), Inathi Rozani (Zayne Jackson), Chiamaka (ChiChi) Ulebor (Shola Aku) and Sahil Ismailkhil (Norrulah Ashimi).

Speaking of returning, Glover 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?”

Waterloo Road is now available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
