Why the New Dramedy ‘Boarders’ Is a Must-Watch on Tubi (AKA It’s Free)

We hosted an exclusive screening in Austin

If you loved Derry Girls, Sex Education or Broad City: Congrats, we just found your new favorite show. We got an exclusive look at Boarders, a Tubi original, at this year’s Gallery Innovation House in Austin, Texas—and we promise, you’ll be hooked.

The dramedy is a BBC British coming-of-age story that follows five inner-city Black students who receive scholarships to attend an ancient, prestigious (and, predominantly white) upper-class boarding school. Only, the school has awarded the scholarships to earn what they hope is “good press” in the wake of scandal: A group of white male students filmed themselves harassing a homeless man, then splashed it all over social media. Needless to say, the group of Black students will have to navigate more than just a new school. Watch the trailer below to see what we mean.

Judging by the enthusiastic reactions from our exclusive screening at Gallery Innovation House, this is a show you’ll need to binge, then alert the group chat to. What are you waiting for? Stream all six episodes of Boarders, plus loads of other incredible shows, for free on Tubi. Then, check out photos of our exclusive screening below.
