Old cast return for Hangover-style Hollyoaks Later

A week of Hollyoaks Later will return in autumn, featuring some classic cast members and a Hangover-style storyline.

Kurt Benson (Jeremy Edwards), Finn (James Redmond) and Dom Hutchinson (John Pickard), alongside a host of unexpected and unhinged characters throughout Spanish and Moroccan locations will return, as Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) faces up to battle against cancer.

The five hour-long late-night episodes will take viewers on 'an epic ride of Hangover-style proportions', according to Hollyoaks.

Alongside Tony’s storyline, Hollyoaks Later will also feature a dark storyline involving Esther and Tilly as they celebrate an 18th birthday in a spooky location, while Theresa joins up with a new recruit of the McQueen clan on a wild road trip.

Producers Lime Pictures boss Bryan Kirkwood said: “We are very happy to announce the commissioning of series six of Hollyoaks Later. It is a returning series that gives an annual late night treat to loyal Hollyoaks fans."
