Season 8 of BBC was cut short due to COVID-19 but was filled with drama in the short weeks that it was on the air. According to Global News, the beloved show will return at an "unspecified date next year."
Cox's role outside of hosting will help with casting, outreach, as well as "increasing BIPOC representation across the board", per Global News.
