Let's get ready to rhuuuuumble!
It's official, Byker Grove is getting the reboot treatment. Ant & Dec have announced that the show that gave them their big break all those years ago is coming back.
The teen drama was set in Newcastle and followed the lives of a group of people all in the same youth club.

It's the same idea for the reboot which is currently in development, as it plans to follow a new generation of young people navigating life in Newcastle in the 2020s.
Ant & Dec will be executive producers and creative consultants on the reboot, and we reckon they'll probably make a sneaky cameo as well!

"We owe such a lot to Byker Grove and the North East so we can't wait to start working with Fulwell 73 and the team to bring this iconic series back to life," Ant said.
"Already talking characters and storylines has us all buzzing at the possibilities ahead."
