Hannah Cheers is Executive Producer of Hollyoaks. Having begun her career at Hollyoaks in 2009, she returned to showrun C4’s flagship continuing drama in 2023.

Since her return, she has overseen a major transformation of Hollyoaks, including its shift from a five-night broadcast schedule to a three-night, digital-first soap. Under her leadership, the show engineered a lauded ‘time-jump’, boldly moving the narrative forward in time to refresh the show’s pace.

Her tenure has prioritised issue-led storytelling, most notably the Sibling Sexual Abuse storyline, which received critical acclaim and contributed to wins at the British Soap Awards, including Best Storyline, Best Family and Best Newcomer, alongside Royal Television Society nominations.

Hannah led Hollyoaks’ 30th Anniversary last October, including a Brookside crossover and a Hollyoaks Later special, filmed on location across Merseyside. Earlier in her career, Hannah worked on Coronation Street and Emmerdale, with her projects earning BAFTA, Broadcast and RTS recognition.
