BBC iPlayer has announced that EastEnders<\/a> will be adding hundreds of episodes over the coming months.<\/p>\n

The BBC One soap is fast approaching its 40th anniversary next year and in 2020 began adding vintage episodes from 2008 onwards during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Each week, episodes have continued to be added and will soon be reaching the year 2012, but now the pace of additions is set to rapidly increase as fans will be treated to up to 2,000 episodes on the service by Christmas 2024.<\/p>\n

The entire EastEnders collection for 2012 will be available on the service from Tuesday 26<\/strong><\/span>th<\/sup><\/span><\/strong> March 2024<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, every subsequent month, a year\u2019s worth of episodes will be added, so by Christmas Day 2024, viewers will be able to stream over 2,000 episodes with the entire EastEnders collection from 2008 to the present day available on the platform.<\/span><\/p>\n

The years 2023 and 2024 are already available on the platform in their entirety, along with the majority of 2022.<\/p>\n

Executive producer Chris Clenshaw:<\/span> \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled that BBC iPlayer is expanding its collection of EastEnders episodes so that our viewers can enjoy a look back at some of the show\u2019s most iconic storylines as we honour its rich history and its gripping characters. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cViewers will be able to rewatch their favourite characters and relive their favourite moments, such as Who Killed Lucy Beale?, Peggy\u2019s heart-breaking death, Stacey\u2019s post-partum psychosis and Kathy\u2019s jaw-dropping return from the dead.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile,\u00a0Dan McGolpin, Director of BBC iPlayer and Channels, said:<\/span> \u201cIt\u2019s fantastic to see EastEnders in such great form for 2024 and this is generating strong demand from viewers to enjoy earlier episodes on BBC iPlayer. \u202fI\u2019m delighted that we\u2019re able to add all of 2012 by the end of the month and we\u2019ll have more than 2,000 episodes available by Christmas.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As a reminder, here are some major storylines from each year to look forward to\u2026<\/p>\n
