Hollyoaks@25 will showcase one week for every five years, each chosen for the significance and popularity of its storylines.
The first era will look at the years 1995-2000, specifically the year 1999, when the soap’s first ever major stunt was performed.
A young Tony, Lewis, Ruth and Lucy are desperate to escape the water tank in which they are being held captive by a vengeful Rob Hawthorne, the soap’s first ever villain.
Finding love can be hard at the best of times but finding love in the middle of a pandemic feels almost impossible, which is why celebrities Chloe Ferry, Pete Wicks, Levi Davis and Shaughna Phillips have turned to the Celebs Go Dating agents for professional help.
Dating agents Paul C Brunson and Anna Williamson will return, joined by their junior client coordinator Tom Read Wilson, ready to navigate the challenges of vetting love matches online and arranging exciting remote and socially distanced dates.
Navi Lamba, Digital Commission Exec for E4, commented: “It’s been so brilliant harnessing all the creativity the lockdown has inspired in our indie partners.
“We’ve commissioned across a number of genres and a mixture of animation and live action, hearing the stories of real people across the country and those of well-known faces in comedy, music and TV and all are tailored to work best for our young audiences.”
The six-part series is an outrageously transgressive and cringe-worthy peek behind the curtain of a pop music scene rife with insecurity and fragile narcissism.
Assumed dead by most, Maxxx (O-T Fagbenle) is a former boy band star desperate to re-establish himself in the celebrity world, if only to win back his supermodel ex-girlfriend Jourdan Dunn (playing herself).
Maxxx’s widely reported drug-addled antics have turned most of his fans against him, although his cousin and superfan-stalker Rose (Helen Monks) is still on his side.
Initially a live show at the Edinburgh Fest Fringe, Taskmaster was originally developed with Channel 4 and then later commissioned by UKTV where it aired on Dave for nine series.
The series follows Greg Davies and show creator Alex Horne as they host a series of complex and comedic challenges that test the wit of a line-up of famous contestants.
Following the six series deal, new episodes of Taskmaster will air on Channel 4.
Created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, the sci-fi cartoon follows scientist and intergalactic felon, Rick Sanchez (Justin Roiland), who drags his grandson, Morty Smith (Roiland), on a series of insane adventures across the galaxy.
Fans of the show predict the new series will see Sanchez and Smith at odds with Smith’s tyrannical counterpart, Evil Morty (Roiland), alongside a deadly reunion between Sanchez and his lifetime friend turned enemy, Phoenixperson (Harmon).
Friends star Matt LeBlanc plays Adam, a father who is new to being a stay-at-home parent and quickly learns that parenting is far more demanding than he expected.
When his wife Andi (Liza Snyder) returns to work, Adam tries to keep the house in order but when his three children prove to be anything but little angels, he finds out he has his work cut out.
Wade and Ascott both starred in E4 series Youngers, after the success of their YouTube series Mandem On The Wall.
The duo launched hit online platform, Wall of Comedy in 2015, spanning YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, all of which has achieved over 3.5 billion views so far.
The pair also starred in and co-produced viral sensation, Shiro’s Story, a three-part drama told mainly through rap, inspired by real-life events in South London.
The nationwide hunt will be led by production company Fully Focused, who are searching for the next generation of stars, including presenters, actors and comedians.
The aim is to uncover talent from across the country and find people from a range of backgrounds, none of whom have any substantial mainstream or terrestrial broadcast experience.
Those selected will be given training to help them develop and will be given exposure on E4.
There will be the opportunity to work across digital content, social media, in-vision continuity and even star in new shows.
Mae and George (w/t) follows recovering addict Mae (Martin) as she seeks to take control of her life while juggling a relationship with her new girlfriend George and keeping her addictive behaviours in check.
Joe Hampson (Skins) will co-write the series with Martin, and the comedy will be produced by Objective Fiction, whose portfolio includes Game Face, Toast of London and Fresh Meat.
“WHAT A DREAM,” said Mae Martin of the new project. “We cannot wait to make this show with E4, Netflix, and Objective Fiction.”
