‘Bloodlands’: BBC Releases “First Look” Images For Season 2, Premiering September
The BBC has released some “first look” images of ‘Bloodlands‘, the critically-acclaimed drama starring James Nesbitt from Jed Mercurio’s HTM Television, which returns for Season 2 this September.
When the murder of a crooked accountant unravels a trail of greed that threatens to expose his identity as legendary assassin, Goliath, DCI Tom Brannick (Nesbitt) and the accountant’s widow, Olivia Foyle (Victoria Smurfit) must keep each other dangerously close. As they try to solve the riddle her husband left behind, and become more and more immersed in the puzzle of each other, Tom and Olivia draw in Tom’s fellow officers DS Niamh McGovern (Charlene McKenna), DCS Jackie Twomey (Lorcan Cranitch) and DC “Birdy” Bird (Chris Walley), as well as Tom’s daughter, Izzy (Lola Petticrew) until deceit and betrayal force Tom to question just what lengths he will go to, to keep his legacy intact.
The first series of ‘Bloodlands’ launched with an average of 8.2 million viewers (30-day consolidated) and was Northern Ireland’s most-watched BBC drama launch on record. Filming has again taken place in Belfast and the surrounding areas. It is produced by Christopher Hall and directed by Jon East and Audrey Cooke.
The series is created and written by Chris Brandon, and stars James Nesbitt (‘Stay Close’, ‘Cold Feet’), who reprises the lead role of DCI Tom Brannick. Charlene McKenna (‘Peaky Blinders’, ‘Holding’), Lorcan Cranitch (‘The Last Kingdom’, ‘The Dig’), Lola Petticrew (‘Tuesday’, ‘Dating Amber’) and Chris Walley (‘The Young Offenders’, ‘1917’) also return. Victoria Smurfit (‘Marcella’, ‘Once Upon a Time’) joins the cast for the second series in the role of Olivia Foyle, an enigmatic widow at the centre of Brannick’s latest case.
