BBC Three

The I Kissed… series debuted last year, making headlines for its steamy shower scenes, introducing the UK to the word ‘Masseria’ (Italian for farmhouse), and plenty of – as the title suggests – kissing.

Bad Education’s Layton Williams has passed his role as the show’s narrator to TikTok celesbian Charley Marlowe. The Liverpudlian social media star has made a name for herself through her exuberant comedic interviewing style.

Aimee Lou Wood (Sex Education) stars as 24-year-old Gemma, recently cast out of her young-wild-and-free lifestyle, after discovering she is pregnant from a one-night stand.

David Morrissey (Sherwood) enters the picture as her father Malcolm. Recently left in the lurch as his now ex-wife jets around the world discovering herself on their life savings, he is unable to do basic household tasks and struggles to boil an egg.

Lou Wood stars as Evie, who hosts a film club for her friend Tom every Thursday at 9.00pm. Each week, she transforms her garage into the perfect setting to watch the film of choice – for Wizard of Oz, a yellow brick road, for Alien, a spacecraft. She tells herself it’s because she loves the movies, but she is secretly harbouring a love for Tom.

Boarders will follow five black teenagers from underprivileged backgrounds who receive scholarships to an elite boarding school, St Gilberts. Leaving their homes in inner-city London for the roller-coaster of boarding school, they go on personal journeys and find out how the other half live.

Two of the lead actors, Sekou Diaby and Aruna Jalloh, will be making their screen debuts alongside Josh Tedeku (A Town Called Malice), Jodie Campbell (Bulletproof), and Myles Kamwendo (The School for Good and Evil).

Over four parts, Zara McDermott: Inside Ibiza (working title) will grant viewers unprecedented inside access to the island and its characters.

Having holidayed in Ibiza many times since she first visited in 2019, the former Love Island contestant now wants to discover what draws her and so many others in, and how the place is changing as it looks to attract more upmarket clientele.

Pop icon, LGBTQ+ ally and self-proclaimed “fairy-godmother/cupid” Dannii Minogue will return to host the new series, which will see the female contestants journey to Italy to test their chemistry with a kiss.

Minogue will match the contestants herself before they enter the Masseria (an Italian farmhouse), where they will greet each other with a kiss on first meeting, before even having spoken to each other.

This is designed to test their chemistry before they get to know each other on a deeper level.

Joining Renkow, who stars as Tim, a man who uses his cerebral palsy to get away with saying and doing just about anything, are James Norton (Happy Valley), Lee Ridley (Christmas Comedy Club With Lost Voice Guy), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones's Diary), Lydia Fleming (In from the Cold) and Gary Beadle (Andor).

Set aboard The Sacramentum cruise ship, the tense slasher comedy follows 20-year-old new recruit Jamie as he attempts to infiltrate a crew of 3000 people to find his missing sister. While working aboard the same vessel on a previous tour, she mysteriously vanished mid charter.
