On the set of BBC drama Phoenix Rise

Dan Sambell takes a behind the scenes tour on the set of Phoenix Rise, a BBC drama filmed in Coventry. It is due out on BBC iplayer in March 2023.

Phoenix Rise is set in a West Midlands school and follows a group of teens who are taking their first tentative steps back into mainstream education after being excluded. Phoenix Rise is the opportunity for these six misfit heroes to prove that sometimes being an outsider means belonging to the best club of all, as their unlikely friendships bond them and fuel their determination not to be side-lined. Each episode will follow one of the characters as the optimism and fun of teen life is set against the challenges they face in and out of the classroom.
