The Light in the Hall Season 2 Debuts on Channel 4 at 9pm

A mostly new cast tells a two-timeline story that ties a 1995 bombing to modern reservoir protests and corporate family conflicts

Overview

  • The second season premieres on Channel 4 on Tuesday, June 16, at 9pm, with broadcast-ready episodes arriving the same night.
  • The plot alternates between 1995, when activist Llyr Owen died in a bombing, and the present, when plans to expand a local reservoir reopen those old wounds.
  • Siân Reese-Williams returns as Caryl, the only carry-over character from season one, now a trainee journalist who investigates the protests and questions whether Rhys Owen was wrongly jailed.
  • Mark Lewis Jones stars as Rhys Owen, who spent two decades in prison for the 1995 attack, and Robert Glenister plays Robert Davies, a senior figure at the company behind the reservoir who is also tied to local families.
  • The season was filmed around Llandovery and Carmarthenshire to stand in for fictional Llanemlyn, and critics’ reviews and audience reaction will follow after tonight’s broadcast.
