A mini-series of the popular drama will air in 2018, and Our Girl creator Tony Grounds told RadioTimes what viewers can expect, revealing that the new show will be set in Nigeria. He said: "When they arrive in this village, some schoolgirls have been taken. That north part of Nigeria is controlled by Boko Haram whereas the south is government-controlled. So they go there and are embroiled in a situation that tries to free the schoolgirls."
