The radio drama, which has aired over 20,000 episodes since its first broadcast on 1st January 1951, is the world’s longest running daily radio drama serial.
BBC Radio 4 will also broadcast special episodes of programmes including Woman’s Hour and This Week in History, and a special re-enactment of the opening scene from the very first episode in 1951. The new reimagining will see Timothy Bentinck, Felicity Finch, Daisy Badger, Ben Norris and Wilf Scolding play Dan, Doris, Grace, Philip and Jack Archer, stepping into the shoes of their original counterparts.
Since its first episode, the show has chronicled significant social and cultural changes in Britain and, in recent years, has tackled topics such as climate change, domestic abuse, alcoholism and modern slavery.
To mark its 75th anniversary, episodes of The Archers will now be available on BBC Sounds for five years after broadcast, an increase from the previous 30-day window.
"The world today is very different to when it was first broadcast in 1951, and I'm delighted that the programme continues to be such a huge hit with audiences of all ages. The devotion of Archers listeners should never be underestimated and I’m looking forward to celebrating this national institution with them over the next 12 months."
He continued: "That ability to connect with listeners is what makes The Archers so special – it has timeless appeal, and yet it manages to speak to the times we live in today. We look forward to seeing what the next 75 years will bring!”
