Hollyoaks is currently still airing, and the next big return point is the Season 32 premiere, scheduled for Monday 5 January 2026 in the UK, following the run of the 2025 Christmas episodes.

Next episodes

• After that, the show is marked as moving into an “upcoming season premiere” with Season 32 Episode 1 on 5 January 2026.

How to check closer to the date

• Look at Channel 4 / E4’s electronic programme guide or their Hollyoaks page a few days before 5 January to confirm exact times and any schedule changes.

• Episode‑tracking sites that list Hollyoaks air dates (like the one noting the 5 January 2026 premiere) can also give countdowns and titles for upcoming episodes.
