Hollyoaks bosses have officially announced the return of the soap's late night spinoff show Hollyoaks Later.
Jane Steventon will be acting as the producer of Hollyoaks Later, while the series will be executive produced by the main show's bosses Emma Smithwick and Tony Wood.
Speaking about the new series Smithwick said: "I am so excited for Hollyoaks Later this year. We have been planning the stories for a while, and so the late nights will give the characters a whole new playing field in terms of how we tell their tales.
"Expect a lot of humour and heartbreak for some of the sixth form boys, a good dose of Brady related darkness and a wild excursion for Mitzeee."
Marianne Buckland, commissioning editor for Channel 4, further pitched in: "This series of Hollyoaks Later represents the next turn of the wheel for the brand and promises a glossier, more grown-up feel.
"By their very nature, the lateness of Laters allows us to be that little bit more risky and with Brendan Brady at the helm - a character so suited to a post-watershed stint - this year is more dark and dangerous than ever."
The show will air as five hour-long episodes, transmitting on consecutive nights across one week in a 10pm timeslot.
