‘Time’: BBC Releases “First Look” Image Of Season 2 Featuring Jodie Whittaker, Tamara Lawrance and Bella Ramsay
The BBC has released a “first look” image from Season 2 of Jimmy McGovern’s prison anthology drama ‘Time‘ featuring Jodie Whittaker, Tamara Lawrance & Bella Ramsay, and announced additional casting.
Season one of the multi-award-winning prison-based drama was set in a men’s prison and starred Sean Bean & Stephen Graham. Season two of the anthology series moves things to a female prison, with Jodie Whittaker (Doctor Who, Broadchurch), Tamara Lawrance (The Silent Twins, The Long Song) and Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us, His Dark Materials) leading the cast, alongside Siobhan Finneran (Happy Valley, Downton Abbey) reprising her role from series one as prison chaplain Marie-Louise.
Told through the lens of three very different inmates, Time is a moving and high-stakes portrayal of life inside a women’s prison. Arriving at Carlingford Prison on the same day, Kelsey (Ramsey), Orla (Whittaker) and Abi (Lawrance) are thrown together to face an unfamiliar world. But even with the ever-present threat of violence within its walls, they discover that an unexpected sense of community, and a shared understanding, still might be possible.
Additional season two cast announced today includes BAFTA-award winner Sophie Willan (Alma’s Not Normal, Still Open All Hours), alongside Julie Graham (Shetland, Being Eileen), Alicia Forde (Waterloo Road, Ryan Can’t Read), Lisa Millett (The A Word, Robin Hood), Faye McKeever (The Responder, Des), Kayla Meikle (The Capture, The Girl Before), James Corrigan (This Is Going to Hurt, This England), Nicholas Nunn (Clique, SAS Rogue Heroes) and Maimuna Memon (Sherwood, Unforgotten).
The drama is written by multi-award-winning Jimmy McGovern (Broken, Cracker, The Street), with Helen Black, writer of the BAFTA-nominated Life and Death in the Warehouse. Andrea Harkin (The Confessions of Frannie Langton, The Trial Of Christine Keeler) directs the series.
‘Time’ season two is a BBC Studios production for the BBC, in a co-production with BritBox North America. Additional funding and support comes from the Liverpool Film Office through its Liverpool City Region Production Fund. Global distribution will be handled by BBC Studios. The series is produced by Mark Hedges (Hanna, The Rising), with executive producers Priscilla Parish, Michael Parke and Andrew Morrissey for BBC Studios, Lucy Richer for the BBC, Reemah Sakaan and Stephen Nye for BritBox North America, and Jimmy McGovern.
‘Time‘ Season 2 does not yet have a premiere date, but is “coming soon” to BBC One and iPlayer in the UK, and Britbox in the USA. If you want to keep track of this or any other show, you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when it gets a UK premiere date.
