Tribe Series 3 News!!
Have we got some news for you! The Tribe is really a phenomenal success and Series 1 and Series 2 are being screened right now all around the world.
We are delighted to confirm that SERIES 3 of the Tribe will start filming at the Cloud 9 production centre in New Zealand on July 1st this year!
There is big writers’ meeting this week in London where the Executive Producer meets the writing team to finalise storylines for the new series – and there are some amazing things planned for the new series. The writers are also working on scripts for the first few episodes.
Planning and pre-production for Series 3 starts now in New Zealand.
Series 3 is another 52 x half-hour episodes (or 26 x 1-hours) and the six month production will continue until December 2000, with post-production finishing in the early part of 2001.
So when’s the Tribe hitting your television screen? Well, Channel 5 in the UK is the first country to broadcast Series 3 and this starts from September 2000. Other countries are showing Series 1 and Series 2 but will be showing Series 3 thereafter (we’ll have details here).
We’ll be covering all the latest news and gossip direct from the production itself here on the Official Tribe website. At least once per week you’ll find all the latest info on what’s happening in Series 3 in the Location Report part of the Guide section. There will also be regular photos from the location and studio!
Exclusive Tribe Tour news – don’t miss this!
We have been authorised to reveal that four members of the Tribe’s cast will arrive in London in mid-June for a two-week promotional tour. We understand from Cloud 9 (makers of the Tribe) that the four will be none other than Caleb Ross (LEX), Dwayne Cameron (BRAY), Meryl Cassie (EBONY) and Michelle Ang (TAI-SAN)!!
They will be doing a series of interviews on television, radio, and newspapers – along with a host of your fave magazines! They will then fly back to the Cloud 9 production centre in New Zealand as filming of Series 3 begins in July!
And to coincide with their visit, here at the Official website Tribeworld we’ve got two special competitions:
– The first comp is for everyone to enter. The lucky winners will meet the cast members during their promotional tour to London!
– The second comp is only for members of the Official Tribe Fan Club. The lucky winners will have a lunch with the cast members in London!! To enter this second competition, you need to be a member of the Fan Club – so if you haven’t joined yet, you can do so in the CLUB/Fan Club part of Tribeworld! The cast will spend some time on the telephone phoning at random some of the Fan Club members.
We’ll have details about how to enter these competitions here in Guide News from Monday 1st May! Fan Club members will be contacted via email.
In addition, read below for an amazing opportunity to win a trip to New Zealand! And appear in the Tribe!

Over the weekend, the Official Tribe website might have been inaccessible due to the technical team moving the site from one computer to another in an office move. This was very frustrating for all involved but the technical problems seem to have been fixed (touch wood!) – and we hope you enjoy the new content here on Tribeworld.
