Class showrunner Patrick Ness describes his goals and gives a bit of information about the YA-show (set in Coal Hill School) which debuts in the fall of 2016.
"...I can tell you that it does not involve Clara,” he tells EW after confirming once again that it will be set in Coal Hill School. “I’ve tweeted this, so I don’t think I’m breaking anyone’s confidence.”
Beyond that, Ness isn’t giving away much in terms of specifics, but says he’s excited to bring his YA expertise to the project.
“The idea is to take everything that I love about YA, which is the great breadth of it and the great depth of it and its fearlessness about the emotional stuff and its fearlessness about emotional truth, and the way that it takes teenage characters seriously as complex human beings, and just put that on television in the Doctor Who universe, and that sounded very, very exciting to me,” he says.
