 == Overview ==
 It consisted of seven stories and eight episodes. ''Class'' was created by [[Patrick Ness]], who previously wrote the tie-in short story, ''[[Tip of the Tongue (short story)|Tip of the Tongue]]'', for the fiftieth anniversary of ''Doctor Who''. Ness revealed there would be "no [[Clara Oswald|Clara]]" and that ''Class'' would "definitely air in America".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Patrick_Ness/status/649722169807794176|title=Patrick Ness' Twitter|author=Patrick Ness|date of source=1 October 2015|website name=Twitter|accessdate=5 October 2015}}</ref> In an interview with ''Entertainment Weekly'', Ness said he has been asked to bring various parts of ''Doctor Who'' back since the series was announced, but he wants to create something new. He also confirmed the [[Weeping Angel]]s would not feature in the series.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/08/doctor-who-spinoff-class-patrick-ness|title=Doctor Who spin-off Class boss Patrick Ness aims to 'shock you with something new'|author=Megan Lewis|date of source=8 October 2015|website name=Entertainment Weekly|accessdate=8 October 2015}}</ref> However, a [[Weeping Angel (The Lost)|Weeping Angel]] made an appearance on the last episode of the series.
 The series was streamed on [[BBC Three]] in [[2016 (releases)|2016]] and later aired on [[BBC One]] in [[2017 (releases)|2017]]. This was the fifth ''[[Doctor Who]]'' television spinoff after ''[[K9 and Company]]'', ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]'', ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'', and ''[[K9 (TV series)|K9]]'' and the first spinoff to premiere online rather than on a traditional television channel.
 The first episode was shown at the [[Class World Premiere]] in [[Shoreditch]] in [[London]] on [[20 October (releases)|20 October]] 2016.<ref name="6 things">{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5MzbR5LJXbTVKtTR5bn4VHQ/6-things-you-need-to-know-about-class|title=6 Things You Need to Know About Class|website name=BBC|accessdate=22 October 2016}}</ref>

 == Future of the show ==
-On 7 September 2017, [[Radio Times]] spoke to [[BBC3]] controller [[Damian Kavanagh]] about a future return of ''Class'', in which Kavanagh said: "No, no. There was nothing wrong with it, I thought Patrick [Ness] did a great job, he explored an amazing world. In honesty it didn’t really land for us on BBC3; some shows don’t and I have to make decisions about what we’re going to do from a drama point of view, and what we did after ''Class'' was ''Clique'' which worked really well for us."<ref>http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2017-09-07/doctor-who-spin-off-class-cancelled/</ref>
