Season three coming to Kickstarter in 2019

With season two getting near the end of its premiere run on BBC Radio 4 Extra, we’re excited to announce our plans to make a third season of Night Terrace!

Sue, Anastasia and Eddie return for eight more episodes!

Anastasia has been all over space and time with Eddie Jones and Sue Denholm, but there’s still of lot of universe out there. Picking up after the end of season two, season three will have the housemates travelling far across the galaxy, seeing alien life from an entirely new angle, and paddling through the timstream of human history.

The main cast of Jackie Woodburne, Petra Elliott and Ben McKenzie all return, as do company players Amanda Buckley and Dave Lamb. There’ll also be a full supporting cast of guest stars. The series will be written by John Richards, Lee Zachariah, David Ashton and Ben McKenzie, and produced by John and Ben, with music and sound design by David. Season two is planned for release in May 2020.

A new Kickstarter campaign means new rewards – many of which will be familiar to backers of our previous two seasons! Get a digital copy of the new season for $5 off the usual asking price, or get a physical copy on a special USB key with a custom key ring. If you want more, there are signed scripts, the chance to have your name or voice in an episode, and even get an associate producer credit!

As well as the familiar rewards, we have a few new ones this year. We’re particularly excited about releasing a collection of original Night Terrace short stories, by the writers and guest authors – including George Ivanoff! – which will be read as an audio book by Ben McKenzie. They’ll be exclusive to the higher tiers of the Kickstarter campaign, so don’t miss out if you want to hear them!

The campaign will launch in mid-October, just after the end of season two’s broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra. Watch our web site, email newsletter and social media for more information – and maybe a surprise or two – in the lead up to the campaign.
