BBC Three has greenlit a drama following five underprivileged Black students who win scholarships to an elite British boarding school from BAFTA-nominated Timewasters creator Daniel Lawrence Taylor and Three Girls producer Studio Lambert.
In Boarders, the students, who are all based in inner-city London, will found out what life is like in a Harry Potter-esque world as they learn about themselves, their identities and forge crushes, friendships and enemies.
The BBC said the six-parter will “look at the experience of going to a top public school from a unique perspective.” Boarders is Lawrence Taylor’s first BBC writing gig.
He is best known for creating ITV2’s BAFTA-nominated Timewasters, a satirical show about time travel that he also stars in. Having also been home to the likes of Normal People and Gavin and Stacey, BBC Three could catapult him to stardom. “As the Black Lives Matter movement continues to grow momentum, and the world is becoming more aware of black struggles in white institutions, a show like Boarders has never been more relevant or ripe for comedy,” said Lawrence Taylor.
