Alan Cumming (The Traitors) and Natalie Cassidy (EastEnders) will guest-star in Season 2 of the BBC coming-of-age series Boarders, which streams Stateside on Tubi.
Cassidy will play Sharon, a teacher at a rival school, while Cumming will play Alan, a man with very high standards for both the party he’s hosting and the St Gilbert’s students who find themselves there.
“I’ve always said that letting people know you are a fan of theirs is a good idea. And, so it was with Boarders,” Cumming says in a statement. “I mentioned this to the producers (who also happen to produce The Traitors), and very soon after, I found myself on the set having such a fun time!”
Cassidy in kind says, “I loved Series 1 of Boarders and was so thrilled to be asked to appear in Series 2. There is such talent amongst all the cast and crew and I loved playing a very eccentric teacher. Don’t miss it!”
