Will Arnett, Juliet Stevenson, Jack Stevenson, Jack Fox, Gregory Fitoussi & Poppy Delevinge Join ‘Riviera’ Season 2
As filming commences on ‘Riviera‘ Season 2, Sky Atlantic has announced a host of new faces joining the show. The new series of the Sky original production sees returning cast members Julia Stiles, Lena Olin, Roxane Duran and Dimitri Leonidas joined in the sun-soaked south of France by Will Arnett (‘Arrested Development’), Juliet Stevenson (‘Truly, Madly, Deeply’), Poppy Delevingne (‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’), Jack Fox (‘Kids In Love’) and Grégory Fitoussi (‘World War Z’).
Season 2 picks up in the aftermath of the shocking first series finale. While the Clios family contend with the devastation caused by Constantine’s death, Georgina’s focus is on getting away with murder. However, things become more complicated with the introduction of the Elthams, an aristocratic English family with secrets of their own. Juliet Stevenson takes on the role of Lady Cassandra Eltham and is joined on the Riviera by her children, the impossibly stylish Daphne (Delevingne) and the brooding Nico (Fox).
Meanwhile, Georgina (Stiles) is reunited with her charismatic uncle Jeff (Arnett) and we learn more about the troubled past she left behind in America. She also becomes entangled with the handsome and mysterious Noah (Fitoussi).
“It’s thrilling to return to the Riviera and to welcome such incredible new talent to the show,” commented star Julia Stiles. “Georgina’s past catches up to her in season two and the drama only intensifies. She is reunited with her mysterious yet charming uncle, someone who sees through her armour. Will is perfectly cast in that role and I am excited to explore how far Georgina will go to protect her new life.”
‘Riviera’ Season 1 was Sky’s most successful original commission to date with an audience of 2.3m per episode, and over 20m downloads and views in total. Riviera Season 2 promises to give fans even more of what they love, with more glamour, more intrigue and more betrayal: all set against the gorgeous backdrop of the playground of the super-rich.
‘Riviera‘ Season 2 begins filming today in Nice, with a view to airing on Sky Atlantic in 2019.
