Phoenix Rise | Series 4 Preview (BBC Three)

Award-winning drama Phoenix Rise – which follows the trials, tribulations, fun and friendships of school life in the Midlands - returns for a new series with all episodes available on BBC iPlayer from Friday 18 October and episodes on BBC Three from Monday 21 October.

It’s a new term at Phoenix Rise and Billy has already got on the wrong side of the new headteacher. The teens return to school to find the boiler room has been shut indefinitely. How will they survive without their safe haven?

The students will be tested like they never have before, especially our very own Romeo and Juliet, Billy and Summer. Despite all odds, the gang will prove that love and friendship always wins.

Critically-acclaimed Phoenix Rise takes a bold look at friendship, first love and family, alongside the complex realities of school life, mental health struggles and never-ending outside pressures - from money problems to dealing with an uncertain future. All through the lens of our resilient, misfit heroes who tackle life with laughter, courage and a lot of attitude.

All episodes available on BBC iPlayer from Friday 18 October and episodes on BBC Three from Monday 21 October.
