The Traitors producer Studio Lambert has struck a first-look deal with Daniel Lawrence Taylor, the creator of critically-rated BBC and Tubi dramedy Boarders.
With Boarders soon wrapping after three seasons, Studio Lambert said the deal will “mark a significant new chapter” in the pair’s collaboration.
All3Media-backed Studio Lambert is best known for formats like The Traitors and Gogglebox but Boarders is its first drama to go beyond one season. The show, which airs on Tubi in the States, will return for a third run next year. It centers around the lives of five young Black teens who earn scholarships to the prestigious boarding school of St. Gilbert’s. Josh Tedeku leads and supporting cast/guests include Wunmi Mosaku, Alan Cumming and Lawrence Taylor.
Lawrence Taylor is also the creator and star of the BAFTA-nominated ITV cult hit Timewasters, which he created and starred in.
Lawrence Taylor said: “Working on Boarders has been one of the most creatively fulfilling experiences of my career. Collaborating with the team at Studio Lambert has been a true pleasure. It only makes sense to keep that momentum going. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built, and I can’t wait to push the boundaries even further and see what we cook up next.”
Studio Lambert recently secured the exclusive TV rights to Hallie Rubenhold’s Story of a Murder: The Wives, The Mistress and Dr Crippen. The indie is also working up a new series of Prime Video’s The Grand Tour.
