AWARD-WINNING CHILDREN’S SITCOM RETURNS FOR NEW SERIES
Following last month’s commission announcement for a fourth series of CBBC’s hit children’s sitcom So Awkward, the award-winning independent production company, Channel X, are pleased to announce that the show will return to screens for its third series (13 x 30’ episodes) weekly on CBBC this August.
So Awkward Series 3 sees the three socially awkward friends, Lily, Martha and Jas, navigate the trials and tribulations of secondary school life. One year older, but still just as awkward, the friends are trying to make sense of life as teenagers. On top of mounting homework, the trio must also deal with the awkward issues of teenage crushes and growing pains, but at least they have each other to turn to when it all gets just that bit too much.
Channel X’s Director of Programmes, Jim Reid, said: “We can’t wait for viewers to see what’s in store for the three friends in the third series. The audience is growing up with the girls, so I’m sure they will relate to the characters and what they are going through - as they navigate those messy, scary and tricky teenage years!”
So Awkward was created by Julie Bower and commissioned by Cheryl Taylor at CBBC. The third series is produced by Sally Martin for Channel X North and was filmed in the Greater Manchester areas of Eccles and Bury.
Series 3 of So Awkward airs on CBBC weekly this August
