Making its debut on Monday 13th May's Channel 4 showing, the new credits focus on the families of the village larking around the soap's iconic locations.
The fast-paced, ultra-glamorous sequence packs more than 60 cast members (including kids - there's that many!) into 45 fun-filled seconds.
The titles are kicked off by longest-serving character Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) at the 'Welcome to Hollyoaks' sign with his family, wife Diane (Alex Fletcher) and stepdaughter Sinead Shelby (Stephanie Davis), dancing in the street.
