Overview
- The six-episode second season arrived on BBC iPlayer and Netflix on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, and is available to stream internationally.
- Author Holly Jackson joined the writers’ room for season 2, which critics and cast say tightened the adaptation and gave the show a darker, more psychologically intense tone.
- Reviewers and viewers have strongly praised the season’s shift in mood, with early reports citing high Rotten Tomatoes scores and rapid binge-watching by audiences.
- The finale delivers major, emotionally charged developments that leave the lead character traumatised and key questions about accountability unresolved.
- The BBC and Netflix have not confirmed a season 3 renewal, though Jackson’s third book, As Good As Dead, provides clear source material if the series continues.
