On 13 June 2016, a bit earlier than scheduled, Ness revealed the lead would be a gay character who has a boyfriend, whom he kisses, sleeps with and loves. Ness told that given the recent {{w|Orlando Nightclub Shooting|Orlando shootings}}, riots caused by homophobia, over the weekend, it seemed less important to keep that a secret.<ref>http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2016-06-13/doctor-who-spin-off-class-will-have-an-lgbt-lead-character</ref> | |||

In an interview for [[DWM 502|''Doctor Who Magazine'' #502]], [[Steven Moffat]] told: "My boys are both teenagers, of course, so I'm quite excited to see what they'll make of ''Class'', which has a lot of great stuff for that age group. Well, for every age group, but thanks to Patrick Ness, it captures that teenage world with great poignancy and wit."<ref>https://twitter.com/class_updates/status/758269922023731201</ref> | |||
Patrick Ness revealed to Radio Times, on 29 July 2016, that the idea for Class started up with the rejection of a ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode; "At first they asked me to write an episode of ''Doctor Who'', and I said it's a brilliant show, but I've just spent so much time doing work for other people, and I really want to do something of my own. And they said, well we have this idea for setting a spin-off in a school. And it was like, 'ding'! It's been fantastic, I've got six weeks of filming to go. The cast are great, and it's been a fantastic experience. I can't wait for you to see it. Fingers crossed! It's going well."<ref>http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2016-07-29/doctor-who-spin-off-class-started-with-a-rejected-who-episode#</ref> | |||
