BBC America have announced that they will co-produce Class, a new Doctor Who spin-off series, from young adult writer Patrick Ness.
Best-known for his award-winning book ‘A Monster Calls’, Patrick is set to write a new 8-part series, set in contemporary London in Coal Hill School. Class is executive produced by Steven Moffat and Brian Minchin, who are also the team behind Doctor Who.
“I’m astounded and thrilled to be entering the Doctor Who universe, which is as vast as time and space itself,” said writer Patrick Ness. “I can’t wait for people to meet the heroes of Class, to meet the all-new villains and aliens, to remember that the horrors of the darkest corners of existence are just about on par with having to pass your exams,” he joked.
Produced by BBC Cymru Wales and filmed in Cardiff, Class will premiere on BBC Three in the UK and BBC America in the US, later in 2016.
