Overview
- The six-episode second season launched on Wednesday, May 27, and is available on BBC iPlayer in the U.K. with Netflix carrying the show in most international markets and ZDFneo and Stan holding rights in some countries.
- Emma Myers returns as teen sleuth Pip Fitz-Amobi and the plot centers on the disappearance of Jamie Reynolds, a key witness whose vanishing threatens a major trial.
- Holly Jackson worked alongside returning writer Poppy Cogan in the writers' room, a role cast and crew say allowed the show to expand scenes and perspectives that were only touched on in the book.
- The premiere episode included an on-screen tribute to BBC commissioning editor Danielle Scott-Haughton and early reviews describe the season as darker, more focused, and more faithful than the first.
- Filmed around Bristol with a mix of returning principals and new cast members, the series' stronger tone and author involvement position it to sustain the show's international audience and set up interest in adapting the final book.
