Class Dismissed is a British children's sketch comedy series created by Luke Beddows, Stephen M Collins and Andy Potter. The series is produced by CBBC Productions and has run from 2016. The show has aired one series, which started on 1 February 2016 and a second series started on 5 December 2016. The series follows 'a school day at the fictional Dockbridge High, where 'nothing out of the ordinary ever happens' – unless you count the stunt diving supply teachers, explosive science classes and hazardous baked bean moments!'. The show features an ensemble cast, similar to Horrible Histories consisting of Richard David-Caine, Marvyn Dickinson, Thomas Nelstrop, Dan Starkey, Sam Battersea, Velile Tshabalala, Harvey Virdi and Jamie Rose-Monk and formerly Marie Lawrence, who left after series 1.
Class Dismissed was first announced in 2014, as part of CBBC's 2015 commissions, despite not airing until 2016. 12 episodes were ordered. A second series of 12 episodes was announced as part of CBBC's 2016 commissions. CBBC joined with BBC Writersroom to find sketch writers for series one and will again be doing this for series two. Series 2 began on 5 December 2016.
