Malory Towers is a British television drama series based on Enid Blyton's book series of the same name. The show premiered on BBC iPlayer in 2020 and stars Ella Bright as Darrell Rivers, a new student at the prestigious Malory Towers boarding school. Set in an idyllic seaside location in 1940s England, the show follows the lives of students at Malory Towers as they navigate friendship, rivalries, and academic challenges. The school is headed by the formidable Miss Grayling (played by Danya Griver), a headmistress who is tough but fair.

The series begins with Darrell arriving at Malory Towers, excited at the prospect of making new friends and experiencing life away from home. However, she soon discovers that life at boarding school is not all fun and games. Her headstrong nature and competitive spirit put her at odds with some of her classmates, particularly the snobbish and self-absorbed Gwendoline (played by Zoey Siewert).

As the series progresses, viewers get to know more about the other students at Malory Towers, including musical Alicia (played by Imali Perera), artistic Sally (played by Zoey Barnes) and athletic Bill (played by Natasha Raphael). Each character has their own unique personality and struggles, from personal insecurities to family problems, that are explored throughout the series.

Despite the challenges they face, the students of Malory Towers come together to support each other when it matters most. From solving a mystery on campus to standing up to bullies, the girls learn the importance of friendship, honesty, and courage.

One of the highlights of the show is its attention to detail in recreating the 1940s setting. From the costume design to the set decoration, the show captures the era perfectly. This adds to the show's charm and makes it a delightful watch for viewers of all ages.

Another strength of the show is its emphasis on inclusivity and diversity. The cast features actors from a range of ethnic backgrounds and abilities, which is refreshing to see in a period drama. The show tackles issues of class, race, and disability in a subtle but effective way, making it a great example of representation in television.

Overall, Malory Towers is a beautifully crafted drama series that offers a fresh take on Enid Blyton's beloved book series. The performances, particularly by Ella Bright as Darrell, are engaging and captivating, and the storylines are both heartwarming and thought-provoking. It's a show that will appeal to fans of the books, as well as those who are new to the world of Malory Towers.

Malory Towers is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (13 episodes). The series first aired on March 23, 2020.
