Almost Never Canceled CBBC Series Not Returning for Season 4

Both bands return to the Palais on a high after a successful and exciting tour, but they also start to feel the pain of the post-tour low. Back to the normality of home life, school and chores. Nate seems to feel it worse than the others, and when his dad calls in from LA his head starts to turn to a potentially better life in the US. An awkward chat with Chloe only fuels his uncertainty! When Harry and Oakley panic about the band splitting up, Nate has some serious thinking to do. They have one more festival gig on the tour and hope it's not their last, especially after Sasha turns up and makes Nate an offer he can't refuse.

With The Wonderland and GHF about to go on tour, friends and family decide to throw a surprise party for the bands at the Palais. Jordan and Fabio need to keep them locked in the rehearsal room under the pretence of some last-minute pre-tour planning so they can keep an eye on them all and not ruin the surprise. It doesn't take long before the carefully laid plans fall apart, and an unexpected delivery of a chocolate fountain adds to the chaos.

Fabio and Jordan have arranged a joint press conference for GHF and The Wonderland to announce their upcoming tour. AJ has offered to drive the boys in a specially customised tour bus he has borrowed from a friend, while Nate is distracted after his disastrous interview for the US TV show ruins his relationship with Chloe. Things go from bad to worse when the tour bus gets towed away with the band on board.

The Wonderland's audition for a big US TV show clashes with a ‘meet the band' competition no-one knew about - except Oakley, who organised it without telling anyone. When the superfans turn up, they jeopardise this amazing opportunity for The Wonderland by competing with each other. Meanwhile, during the crucial ‘interview' with the producers, Nate drops a bombshell that could destroy everything.

Nate is struggling to write any new songs now he is with Chloe, so Harry forces Nate to find some creative inspiration. Meanwhile, Fabio and GHF's new line-up have a tough first day together. 

Dan is getting The Palais ready for a proper Xmas celebration but for Nate everything is suddenly put on hold by a surprise visit from his previously absent father Dev. This sends shockwaves through The Palais and Chloe is hit hard. Meanwhile, Sasha has some dramatic news for GHF and Fabio which comes as a huge shock to everyone. And Nate needs to sort himself out in time for The Wonderland to perform at Dan's Xmas spectacular. 

Dan is hosting a special Xmas dinner at The Palais and everyone's invited. Chloe & Nate, now officially a couple, get to spend some quality Xmas time together whilst the rest of the band take a well earned but reluctant break. Harry and Oakley go shopping for Xmas trees with AJ which doesn't end well and neither does Sasha's conversation with Coleen's boss about GHF, the tour and The Wonderland. Things take a very dramatic turn when Anika receives a surprising and unwelcome letter in the post. 

There's a silent disco at the Palais, and Oakley enlists the help of GHF to work their magic to get Chloe and Nate together - if only he could remember which member of GHF he decided to pretend to start dating. Meanwhile Harry, having been crushed by his crush Tyra and her boyfriend, is invited out with his parents to celebrate their wedding anniversary - not quite what he hand in mind. Dan enlists Jordan's help to DJ at the silent disco alongside Fabio, who takes a very keen interest in all things Jordan. But the main mission of the evening is to get Chloe and Nate to finally kiss - will this now be the start of a great relationship?

Jordan proves his management credentials by organising a gig at a local shopping mall and entrusts AJ with driving them there. After a series of missteps, including trudging through a field where Nate drops his phone into a cowpat, AJ ends up taking them to the wrong mall - where there's no audience! Meanwhile, Dan is under pressure at the Palais when an influential food vlogger reviews the diner, and Sasha's attention is diverted by Tyra's unexpected talent.

The boys have signed with Jordan and he starts by getting some feedback from the fans on what they think of the Wonderland. Sasha sabotages his plan by swapping Jordan's focus group questionnaires with some of her own, revealing the surprising news that fans want to see the boys dance more. Off the back of the bogus feedback, Jordan starts putting the boys through some dance training with the unlikely help of Fabio. Meanwhile, Meg and Anika get into all sorts of bother trying to get some band merchandise organised, while GHF are suddenly inundated with sacks of vegetables after vlogging about their lunch on social media.

The boys sign the management deal and now need to pick a manager, so Coleen arranges for them to meet with a bunch of candidates who they find underwhelming - and then there is Jordan, whose brutal honesty is too hard for them to take. However, following the boys' chaotic and disastrous meeting with potential manager Ivan, Jordan saves the day. Meanwhile, Sasha is trying to salvage GHF's reputation with a press exclusive and Chloe, feeling sidelined by the Wonderland, re-engages with Luke and Cooper. 

The boys are still undecided about whether to sign Coleen's contract. So AJ attempts one final bid to prove he's the best choice of manager by getting them a new job as the Palais' resident house band and launching it with a huge concert - which doesn't quite go to plan. Meanwhile, Harry develops a crush on Dan's new waitress, Tyra, and needs to find a way to distract himself from thinking about her. AJ has taken to his new role with gusto, organising all kinds of treats and surprises, not all of which are welcome.

The boys are celebrating their successful prom performance, while Chloe and Nate decide to meet to discuss their relationship. However, they are repeatedly interrupted by Molly and Eleanor, who think Chloe and Nate becoming boyfriend and girlfriend is damaging for the Wonderland. Meanwhile, Harry, Oakley, Meg and AJ take part in Dan's new hot wing challenge, with disastrous consequences. The Girls Here First tour is cancelled due to an overreach by Sasha, but their world is then turned upside down with news that Mya is no longer in their lives. And at the worst possible moment, Sasha hears that Coleen is planning to offer the Wonderland a management contract. Sasha is in the last chance saloon, with GHF in turmoil and now on the back foot and vulnerable. She is also pregnant. Meanwhile, Coleen has set out her plans for the Wonderland, but some uncertainty creeps in as to whether they really want this deal.

Harry's patience with the band is starting to run out, and finding out that their only gig is at the school prom makes him question whether they'll ever make it. Chloe starts to think whether she and Nate are really just friends or if there's something more to their relationship. Nate insists they're just friends, which Chloe takes very badly. When the prom is mysteriously cancelled, The Wonderland world is hanging by a thread. Not only that, GHF leave for their European tour only to find Oakley has smuggled himself on to the tour bus. Will Sasha find him, will Chloe and Nate finally admit their feelings for each other, and will The Wonderland play again?

The Wonderland are preparing for a live stream at The Palais, but their plans go into freefall after an engineer for band The Wild Kudos walks out of the Palais with Nathaniel's guitar - Lyndsey - by mistake. Nathaniel feels he can't play without it, so he, Chloe and AJ go off in search of it. Will they find Lyndsey in time for the live stream? Meanwhile, Sasha insists there are no secrets between her and GHF, and asks the girls to work on their honesty. They start to reveal some pretty brutal truths to each other.

Dan is launching a fundraiser at The Palais - amateur boxing night - and is looking for volunteers. Chloe and Mya sign up and it soon becomes a battle between The Wonderland and GHF - with surprising consequences. Nate supports Chloe while Oakley and Harry are in Mya's corner, but things get out of hand when Nate expresses his concern at Chloe's win-at-all-costs approach.

When Nate meets Frankie Rylands, a failed boy band member, who has come to work in Dan's diner, he sees a vision of a possible future of himself in five years' time - washed up and washing up. He sees an opportunity to help a fellow talented musician. Meanwhile, Mya has agreed to go on a fake date with a famous singer to help cross-promote his new record and GHF's tour. Oakley gets very jealous, ending up in an awkward showdown.

Chloe wants to increase the social media buzz around the boys with more personality-led profiles and has secured interviews with various online magazines. Nate and Chloe run out of time when filling out a questionnaire so arrange a date to meet again to finish it, but both leave thinking that maybe ‘it's a date' means it actually is a date. Panic sets in. Meanwhile, Harry's excellence at school means he gets to look after the school mascot, Phillip the cockerel, for the weekend, but Phillip escapes when Oakley leaves the door open. When they find a fully plucked and ready to roast chicken on the kitchen table, they think the worst has happened.

The Wonderland want to seize on the success of their surprise R1 Live Lounge session and get a new cover out asap, but this time with a video. Dan agrees to let them film at The Palais, but Sasha once again manages to ruin their plans by hosting a party for her boss Coleen at The Palais and locking the band out so they can't get their instruments. Meanwhile GHF need to impress Coleen at the party to get permission for a European tour, but Mya is distracted, trying to help Oakley and the band instead. Sasha risks public humiliation when she thinks Mya has sneaked the boys into The Palais in a giant birthday cake.

Chloe tries to get the boys onto a really popular vlog hosted by Tobylarious, a guy she used to go out with. She doesn't want to tell Nathaniel about their past, but things come to a head when the vlogger starts throwing his weight around. Nathaniel stands up for Chloe and throws away a chance for a big audience. Meanwhile, AJ is trying to prove himself as manager but only knows the old-school methods: getting their song into the hands of a top Radio 1 DJ. And GHF have had a recording released that sounds awful, so Sasha is leaning on her friend, the same R1 DJ, to let them do a live session to prove they can sing - but Mya's not keen to play along and Sasha's anger is fuelled when The Wonderland get some sweet revenge. 

Harry is troubled when a hardcore muso, Trinity, describes The Wonderland as ‘just another generic boyband'. Self-conscious about being part of a manufactured group, Harry searches for a more authentic sound. Chloe applauds the sentiment but says that this is not the time to be making big changes. The Wonderland are due to perform in a showcase, but during rehearsals Harry and Nathaniel fall out about the overall musical direction of the band, and Trinity only makes matters worse. Nathaniel, Oakley and Chloe realise that Harry seems to be under Trinity's spell, but how will they break that magic in time for their showcase? 

The boys are working at the diner, and feeling further away from fame and success than ever. Making matters worse, Dan is broke, and unless he can get help, he's going to have to sell the diner. The Wonderland would lose their base and rehearsal space! Dan leaves the boys to mind the diner, having shut the kitchen, but when a famous customer, Fleur East, comes in asking for Dan's special squid chow mein, their efforts to keep her from leaving and provide her with the dish she's ordered almost end up burning down the Palais. Meanwhile, Dan visits Sasha, who promises him a loan to help out the Palais, and Mya is finding out that life in a girl band can sometimes be very lonely. 

The Wonderland try to solve their ‘Spotlight losers' image problem with a buzzworthy new band photo. The session with AJ's pet photographer friend is a disaster, but Chloe persuades a famous celebrity snapper to shoot the boys instead. But at the same time Oakley and Harry have other secret commitments. Getting them together proves to be harder than anyone expected. Oakley is leading a double life as he embarks on a secret dating mission with Mya that doesn't go well, while Harry finds himself joining a Mariachi band after accidentally dropping an amp on one of the band. The famous celebrity photographer does arrive, but unfortunately this is just as the band are tangled up in a messy Mariachi brawl in the diner. Click! The bad photo goes viral but luckily social media loves their refreshingly honest portrayal. 

Nathaniel's video of him singing at the GHF gig has gone viral, and he's feeling embarrassed. Fortunately, Harry and Oakley think they have some good news: AJ has got them a gig, only to discover it's a private booking for local businessman Hot Tub Tony. But it gets worse - Tony wants them to record a single with his daughter Rosie on lead vocals, a tone-deaf spoilt brat who's completely obsessed with Harry. Meanwhile, Chloe and Molly visit Sasha to try to get the embarrassing viral video removed – but almost end up getting cast in a GHF music video. 

Chloe decides the boys need to record a music video to raise online awareness. Unfortunately, Nathaniel finds himself roped into taking his sister Molly to a Girls Here First concert – the one place he should never be seen! When Nathaniel is caught on camera at the gig, it proves to be the most embarrassing night of his life. Meanwhile, Oakley has secretly been texting Mya from Girls Here First and seeks advice from Harry on asking her out. He might think he's a ladies' man, but when he really likes someone he isn't as confident as he seems. He arranges to meet her after the GHF gig. 

Boy band The Wonderland come second in the biggest music show on TV, but judge Sasha Small decides to sign the winners – a girl band called Girls Here First – instead of them. Feeling disillusioned, the boys have to find the inspiration to carry on – not easy when Nathaniel's mum wants him to focus on his school work instead of his music, and confiscates his guitar. The boys meet Chloe, a vlogger who will prove instrumental in ensuring they don't give up on their dreams. 

Girls Here First and The Wonderland go head to head in a special quiz about all things Almost Never, and there is an exclusive live performance.
