Class is an upcoming British science fiction drama series, a spin-off from Doctor Who. It will consist of eight episodes, and is set to premiere on BBC Three in 2016.[1] It will be produced by Derek Ritchie, who previously produced episodes for the ninth series of Doctor Who.[2]

Premise

The sixth formers of Coal Hill Academy[3] all have their own secrets and wants. They have to deal with the stresses of everyday life, including friends, parents, school work, sex, and sorrow, and also the horrors that come from time travel.
