Channel 4 has recommissioned Ackley Bridge for a second, double length series to run in 2018. Season Two will be comprised of 12 episodes.
A six part returning drama series produced by The Forge for Channel 4, Ackley Bridge is set in a newly-created multicultural Academy in West Yorkshire.
Ackley Bridge is a small Yorkshire town, home to largely divided white and Asian populations. The two sides of the community have been previously served by separate schools. However, as the formerly isolated comprehensives are merged into a brand new academy, the lives and cultures of each community collide, giving us a gritty, truthful and humorous insight into modern Britain.
