The three popular cast members will be back in their original roles, as the BBC show returns later this year on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Filming is set to begin in Manchester very soon, with episodes airing later this year.

Angela will return as much-loved teacher Kim Campbell, who has since had a promotion to Headteacher of the school, whilst Adam will make his return as Donte Charles and Katie will reprise her role as Chlo Charles.

In first look images, ahead of filming starting, the trio excitedly look over their scripts as they prepare to return to their roles.

Speaking about her role, Angela said: "I'm really honoured to be joining the new series of Waterloo Road. It is exciting to be stepping back into Kim’s shoes and I can’t wait to explore her life, character and how she has evolved since we last met her.

"The writers have some amazing storylines planned and I’m looking forward to welcoming viewers back to Waterloo Road."

Whilst Adam added: "I’m so excited to go back to where it all started! Waterloo Road was a huge part of my life and career so to go back 15 years later is a dream come true. I feel so blessed to have been given this opportunity to get back to acting and doing what I love! I can’t wait to see some old faces and some new. I know this series is going to be the best one yet."
