Not only will the show be back for a Christmas Special starring Whitehall as hapless teacher Mr Wickers, but a fourth season is also on the way<\/a> starring Layton Williams and Charlie Wernham, whose characters Stephen and Mitchell will return to the school as new teachers.<\/p>\n The new season is in production now<\/a>, but just who will be appearing the new episodes, and when can we expect to see them on BBC Three?<\/p>\n Read on for everything you need to know about Bad Education season 4.<\/p>\n Jack Whitehall\u2019s school sitcom Bad Education initially ran for three seasons from 2012 and 2014, following Mr Wickers and his form of students, Class K, including Stephen, Mitchell, Joe, Chantelle, Rem Dogg, Jing and Cleo.<\/p>\n The series was followed by a film (which was set in a slightly different continuity), but then it seemed that the series was done for good \u2013\u00a0until now.<\/p>\n Earlier this year it was announced that the series would be returning for a brand-new 45-minute Christmas special<\/strong>, co-created by original writers Jack Whitehall and Freddy Syborn and once again starring Whitehall as Alfie Wickers.<\/p>\n Not only that, but it was announced that Whitehall would then be departing the show (although remaining as an executive producer), with former students Stephen and Mitchell stepping up as drama and PE teachers respectively at Abbey Grove for a brand-new, six-part fourth season<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This means Layton Williams and Charlie Wernham will be back to star, with Mathew Horne also returning as Mr Fraser and Syborn staying on to direct.<\/p>\n The new series will be written by a new team of breakthrough writers led by Nathan Bryon, and including Laura Smyth, Leila Navabi, Priya Hall, Ciaran Bartlett and Rhys Taylor, along with Williams himself.<\/p>\n Williams said of his return to the series: \u201cStephen\u2019s quest for stardom didn\u2019t quite go as planned, and he\u2019s back at Abbey Grove \u2018teaching\u2019 drama! I\u2019m so excited for audiences to experience the madness of Mr Carmichael, the new Class K! We\u2019re having so much fun on set, I think you\u2019re all in for a treat!\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile Wernham said: \u201cIt feels amazing to be back on set and having so many talented new individuals alongside to work with. A lot has changed for Mitchell since we last checked in on him. He\u2019s grown up, found a missus and has a kid on the way, but in some ways he\u2019s still a loveable big kid himself. The script this series is laugh-out-loud funny, and I can\u2019t wait for audiences to return to Abbey Grove to laugh along with us.\u201d<\/p>\n We don\u2019t yet know an exact release date for Bad Education season 4 just yet, but we do know that the Christmas Special will air Christmas 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This will be followed by season 4 at some point in 2023<\/strong>, and with filming taking place now, hopefully we shouldn\u2019t have to wait too far into the year to see Abbey Grove once more.<\/p>\n Day 1 of #BadEducation<\/a> ????What\u2019s happening with the Bad Education revival?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
