It’s been confirmed that Girls actress Jemima Kirke will takeover the role of Moordale High’s head teacher from Mr Groff (played by Alistair Petrie) as Hope, who has huge plans to transform the school back to excellence.

Jason Isaacs has also been signed up for the show as Peter Groff, Mr Groff’s “more successful and not very modest older brother”.

Fans will instantly recognise the actor from Harry Potter where he played Draco Malfoy’s dad, Lucius.

Dua Saleh is also making their acting debut as Cal, a non binary student who clashes with the new headmistress’ vision for Moordale High.
