Show Description

BOARDERS follows the lives of five talented Black teenagers from inner-city London as they navigate life at an elite boarding school. The second season will see a new era for the students at St Gilbert’s. With the headmaster who brought them on now suspended following a school rebellion, the acting headmistress has made her intentions clear– she wants them gone. The first season focused on the five outsiders as they begin to thrive in this new boarding school environment and the second season will test them in how much they’re willing to sacrifice to survive.
