Additionally, the show's writers have devised a unique approach to explain the departure of multiple characters from the series. New episodes will feature a dramatic year-long time jump, providing a narrative reason for several families moving away from the village of Chester.
New Episode Schedule
Starting in September, Hollyoaks will transition to airing three episodes per week, down from its current five-episode schedule. The show's producers announced this controversial change back in February, and it is set to take effect soon.
Viewers can expect to catch the three weekly episodes on streaming platforms, E4, and YouTube. Additionally, a weekly hour-long omnibus episode will be broadcast on Channel 4 and available for streaming, providing fans with their dose of drama and excitement.
