Roberto Troni, the commissioning editor for Channel 4, also commented on the announcement, saying: "Hollyoaks is a hit with E4 audiences. We always look for opportunities to extend the brand and give fans something extra. The Hollyoaks Later spin-off provides a unique opportunity to experiment in a late-night slot while staying true to the series. The late-night storylines will be a cocktail of fun, glamour, and grown-up drama."
