The classic Channel 4 drama, which originally aired between 1982 and 2003, has been dropping five classic episodes on the Scottish streaming service since 2023 – much to the delight of viewers who have called for a Brookie comeback for decades.
Now, after a unique crossover event to celebrate 30 years of sister show Hollyoaks – which saw a number of favourite characters return – STV has signed on the dotted line with distributor All3Media to continue delivering the action.
There's also the introduction of the Dixon clan, including Hollyoaks favourite Alex Fletcher as Jacqui, and newcomer Lindsey Corkhill, who was played by Corrie's Claire Sweeney.
“The phenomenal response we’ve had since relaunching Brookside proves that it’s an integral piece of British TV history with an enduring impact, and we’re proud to be able to call STV Player its long-term home.”
Gary Woolf at All3Media International, added: “Fans up and down the UK have embraced having the soap available weekly on STV Player, with social media buzzing each week around the regular Wednesday five-episode drop.
John Whittle, Managing Director of original producers Lime Pictures, reflected on the recent crossover edition: "Lime Pictures are delighted that fans of Brookside can continue to enjoy original episodes for years to come."
