In an exciting development for fans of the coming-of-age comedy-drama Boarders<\/strong>, Tubi has acquired the rights to the show’s second season for North America and Latin America. This six-episode season is a collaborative effort between Tubi and the BBC, produced by All3Media\u2019s Studio Lambert in association with All3Media International for the BBC.<\/p>\n Boarders<\/strong>, created by BAFTA-nominated screenwriter Daniel Lawrence Taylor, follows the lives of five talented Black teenagers from inner-city London who find themselves at an elite boarding school.
