'Boarders' First Images Introduces the Class of Season 2

The first decade of the streaming wars was predicated on the idea that the only way to succeed without really trying was to create a Netflix clone: monthly charges, no commercials, and all episodes as a binge. However, at this point, despite its unwillingness to admit that the binge model is hampering its success, even Netflix doesn't adhere to that model. That's because viewers are perfectly fine with commercial breaks if the result is free over the digital airwaves entertainment; facts proven by FAST streamers like Tubi, which currently has more viewers than Apple TV+. Tubi's biggest hit so far, Boarders, is heading to the small screen for Season 2, and the first images are here.

Boarders was initially conceived as a school-set teenage series that is a variation on the "Harry Potter-Whisked-to-Hogwarts" trope, except the students are Black British working-class Londoners and the school is St. Gilberts, one of the U.K.'s toniest "public schools." Starring up-and-coming talent Josh Tedeku (A Town Called Malice) as Jaheim, Jodie Campbell (No Return) as Leah, Sekou Diaby (100 Mistakes) as Toby, Myles Kamwendo (The School for Good and Evil) as Omar, and Aruna Jalloh (Much Ado About Nothing) as Femi, the series was an instant hit on BBC Three and one of Tubi's most streamed series ever.

Season 2 will expand the cast with a few new students transferring to St. Gilberts and an expansion of the students' home lives with new parental figures for them to go home to. Check out the new additions.
