The next two seasons will begin filming in Greater Manchester later this year.
“I’m delighted that Waterloo Road will be opening its corridors once again, with two more series of the hit drama about to start filming,” Lindsay Salt, director of BBC Drama, said in a statement.
“The show continues to entertain the audience who love to follow both the staff and pupils and, with a new series heading to BBC iPlayer and BBC One next month, they don’t have long to wait!”
The show starts Lindsey Coulson, James Baxter, Saira Choudhry, Jo Coffey and Adam Thomas.
