A spin-off from the 2006 film This Is England, it is also a sequel to the series This Is England '86 and This Is England '88. This Is England '90, was originally due in late 2012, but in July 2012, director Shane Meadows announced that the production had been put on hold in order for him to complete his documentary about reunited Manchester rock band The Stone Roses,[1] and the actors were still waiting for confirmation as to when filming would start.[2]
Although the music in the 90s series has not been announced, it has been speculated that Meadows will use tracks by Ludovico Einaudi and The Stone Roses.
Meadows confirmed that this will likely be the final series of the saga. [3]
