The 22-year-old shot to fame for his role in Netflix's smash-hit Heartstopper.
Bradley Riches has been handed a new Prime Video series
The 22-year-old Heartstopper star has been tempted over from rival Netflix
The new series comes after Bradley stint on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year
He played loveable and sweet James McEwan for the first two series before bowing out ahead of the final instalment.
But The Sun can reveal Bradley has been handed a brand new role on rival streamer Prime Video.
The eight-part series - which The Sun understands is currently in production - will see Bradley play the lead role.
Just like Heartstopper, the new programme, called Back to School, is a coming of age tale with a much darker plot.
Sources close to the guarded script say the story will follow a young boy suffering mental anguish.
An insider told us: "Bradley jumped at the chance to play the role when he was offered the gig.
"It's his first series since appearing on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year and he's keen to work on more dramas.
"Prime bosses are really chuffed with the lineup and the fact they got Bradley across from Netflix."
The Sun has reached out to Prime Video.
Virgin Radio Pride star Bradley sparked Ofcom complaints during his stint on Celebrity Big Brother after his 'cruel' eviction in March.
Fans of the rebooted reality show watched in disbelief as the star was booted out of the backdoor by co-host AJ Odudu days before the final.
After leaving the TV house Bradley was handed his first ever West End show called Babies: The Musical.
