The Dumping Ground

The Dumping Ground is a British children's television drama series that focuses on the lives and experiences of young people who live in a children's home with their care workers. The show has continuously aired on CBBC since its inception in 2013, being one of the channel's longest-running and most successful shows. The show is a continuation of Tracy Beaker Returns, which aired from 2010 to 2012. It is the third television series in the Tracy Beaker franchise. The Dumping Ground broadcast its 100th episode on 16 March 2018, which was the tenth episode of series six. In 2024, the eleventh series of The Dumping Ground marked a complete revamp of the show, including a new house, new title sequence and logo, and the animated sequences are no longer a part of the show, much like My Mum Tracy Beaker and The Beaker Girls. A fourteenth series began airing on the CBBC Channel on 23 January 2026 and concluded on 27 March 2026. A fifteenth series is currently in development.
