EXCLUSIVE: BAFTA-nominated Rocks co-writer Theresa Ikoko is no longer attached to Channel 4 drama series Dance School, a show the network said she was co-creating two years ago.
Deadline is told that Ikoko is no longer involved with the project, although details were scant. Discovery of Witches scribe Lisa Holdsworth is now sole creator.
Reps for Ikoko and the show declined comment. The series was unveiled with fanfare almost two years ago to the day. Produced by Lost Boys and Fairies maker Duck Soup Films, it follows an eclectic group of dance students as they navigate the intense highs and lows of coming of age in today’s complex world.
