Overview
- The six-episode second season premiered globally on 27 May 2026 and is available to stream on Netflix with the BBC iPlayer carrying UK rights.
- Critics and viewers have praised the season’s tighter pacing and much darker, more psychological tone, with audience scores far higher than season one.
- Author Holly Jackson joined the writers’ room during development, which producers and reviewers say helped expand scenes and deepen character perspective for television.
- The finale closes the season’s central investigation while intentionally leaving several high‑stakes threats and antagonists unaddressed to drive future storylines.
- HarperCollins has published a synopsis of the third book that maps clear plot material the show could use next, but broadcasters have not yet confirmed a season 3 renewal.
