As many fans were hoping, the story of Doctor Who spin-off Class is being picked up by the excellent folks over at Big Finish.

Class, created by Patrick Ness, came to an end after one series, leaving things on a cliffhanger too. But the BBC opted not to press ahead with a second series, leaving story threads dangling.

Audio drama specialists Big Finish have now inked a deal, and is working on six new audio adventures for the Class team. These will be spread over two volumes, although it doesn’t look as though Ness himself is involved in them. The cast from the show is returning, though, and Sophie Aldred is set to make an appearance as Ace, too.

The news was broken in the new issue of Doctor Who Magazine, and Class: The Audio Adventures will arrive in August.
