As the second season of the popular comedy-drama Boarders premiered on BBC, fans were already begging for more episodes. The show, which has received an impressive 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, centers around five inner-city Black kids who are given a chance to attend an elite, predominantly white, boarding school on scholarship in order to improve the school's reputation. But as they settle into their new environment, students Jaheim, Leah, Toby, Omar, and Femi quickly find themselves facing challenges at the traditional institution.
The first season of Boarders was filled with teenage antics as Jaheim climbed the social ladder at St Gilberts, Leah staged a protest over the outdated art on display, and the new students dealt with financial struggles, family issues, and failed relationships. With such a successful debut season, the coming-of-age series returned for another six-episode run, featuring guest appearances from EastEnders' Natalie Cassidy and The Traitors' Alan Cumming.
In the new season, viewers catch up with the St Gilberts crew as the cunning Carol takes over as acting headmistress and gives the scholarship kids an ultimatum – only three of the five can stay. As the students scramble to secure their future, the show delivers its signature blend of drama and comedy, leaving fans wanting more after a nail-biting finale.
One fan took to Twitter to express their eagerness for more seasons, writing, "Just finished season 2 of Boarders… I genuinely need a season 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10 announcements like yesterday because we've only just TOUCHED the surface of what this show could be I need MORE." Another fan echoed the sentiment, tweeting, "BBC if you can hear us…. Please 6 more seasons please …," while many others joined in demanding a third season.
Fans were also quick to praise the show's quality, with one user gushing about a particular scene, saying, "The scene on the couch was pure cinema." Another fan implored the BBC to release the next season as soon as possible, writing, "Oh my days you cant leave us like this BBC we need s3 right neowwww."
As fans eagerly await future seasons, they can look forward to more brilliant guest stars like Alan Cumming. And with the chemistry between main characters Jaheim and Leah becoming a fan favorite, many are already speculating about what's to come for the two. One fan asked, "So…..when are Leah and Jaheim gonna happen?", while another shared their thoughts on a potential romance between Jaheim and Florence.
In an interview with Metro, actors Josh and Jodie reflected on the show's appeal and growing fanbase. Josh explained, "When I read the script, it was the first thing that had the depth that I wanted and the range of a Black story, rather than it just being a certain type of Black story. That really excited me." Jodie added, "It's that typical 'fish out of water' story that not only Black people can relate to but anyone who has been in a space where they haven't been fully accepted can watch Boarders and be like 'okay I've felt this before'."
