EastEnders' box set returns this summer

'EastEnders' will premiere each week's episodes on BBC iPlayer this summer.

From Monday (27.07.22), the BBC soap's four weekly episodes will be available to watch on the on-demand service, and that will continue each week over the summer until mid-August.

It comes as a summer of sport will disrupt the TV coverage.

Chris Clenshaw, Executive Producer, said: "With such a big summer of sport ahead, box setting all four episodes again this year feels like the perfect solution to enable 'EastEnders' viewers to choose when and where they want to get their weekly fix from Albert Square.

"We have a big summer ahead so this is the perfect way to ensure that no one has to miss out."

The Mitchell family will be at the heart of the drama in Albert Square this summer, with Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) set to make a lethal enemy in prison.

Sam Mitchell's (Kim Medcalf) true intentions will soon come into play, and Ben Mitchell's (Max Bowden) behaviour is set to spiral further out of control after he was recently sexually assaulted.

What's more, Mitch Baker (Roger Griffiths) will get a shock when his estranged brother Avery (Omar Lye-Fook), and two sons, Finlay (Ashley Byam) and Felix (Matthew Morrison) turn-up in Walford.

This comes after it was recently revealed 'EastEnders' will switch from its longtime home on BBC One to BBC Two for part of the summer, once the Wimbledon tennis tournament kicks off on June 27.

But the days and times of the episodes will remain the same.

The show will air Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC Two while Wimbledon matches will be broadcast on BBC One.
