Online presence for Eastenders

As if there is not enough coverage for the top BBC show Eastenders, a spinoff is being planned for a twenty part series following the lives of four new teenage characters.

However, before viewers reach for the remote, this spin off series is for the web and will be written by thirteen new writers aged between seventeen and twenty two.

The web series will air three times a week after the main show has been aired, and each episode will run for between six and twelve minutes.

Some of the stars of the TV series will be making cameo appearances, making this the biggest online drama venture undertaken in the UK so far.

Eastenders: E20 will be launching in January, just ahead of the Eastenders 25th anniversary on the 19th February.
