David Morrissey is back as Detective Chief Superintendent Ian St Clair while Lesley Manville and Lorraine Ashbourne are also returning. They'll be joined by David Harewood, Robert Lindsay, Monica Dolan and Sharlene Whyte, as two new families brought into the mix.

The first series of Sherwood focused on a community still reeling from the use of "spycops", a practice in which police officers were sent deep undercover to infiltrate groups that opposed government policy

These had been used during the miners’ strike in the 1980s and the community had never recovered from the betrayal and the divisions it caused. The series saw DCI Ian St Clair (David Morrissey) investigating a crossbow murder, which stirred up old but still raw tensions.
We saw him teaming up with DI Kevin Salisbury (Robert Glenister) and attempting to bury the long-held rivalries that had existed between them since the 1980s. At the crux of the murder was the shock revelation that one of the town’s key residents was originally an undercover cop.
Sherwood season 2 plot
Sherwood season 2 further explores the themes of fractured communities and the political turmoil in today’s Britain, introducing two new families to the town. Meanwhile a newly appointed Sheriff of Nottingham is passionately fighting local government and business leaders to stop a proposed new mine coming to the area. The mine would bring much-needed jobs but is also an unwelcome reminder of the legacy that has blighted the community for so long...

The turmoil in Nottinghamshire’s ex-coal mining community continues into this second series with more violence plus organised crime running rampant. Caught up in the middle are the Sparrow family — mum Daphne (Lorraine Ashbourne), dad Mickey (Philip Jackson) and sons Ronan and Rory (Bill, Jones, Perry Fitzpatrick). New cast includes Monica Dolan as tough local mum Ann Branson, plus David Harewood and Sharlene Whyte as brother and sister Dennis and Pam. Robert Lindsay also stars as a controversial local businessman with big ambitions.
David Morrissey is back as retired detective Ian St Clair and Lesley Manville again plays widowed Julie Jackson.

Sherwood season 2 new cast members
Sherwood season 2 has plenty of new characters and therefore new cast. Look out for Homeland star David Harewood as Dennis Bottomley and Sharlene Whyte (Stephen) plays Dennis's sister Pam Bottomley. Other new cast are Monica Dolan (The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe (https://www.whattowatch.com/features/the-thief-his-wife-and-the-canoe-release-date-cast-plot-trailer-and-all-you-need-to-know)) as Ann Branson and Stephen Dillane as her husband, while Robert Lindsay (My Family) and Robert Emms star, with Ria Zm
itrowicz, Aisling Loftus, Michael Balogun, Christine Bottomley, Oliver Huntingdon, Jorden Myrie, Conor Deane and Bethany Asher.

Looking forward to this!

The proposal of the new mine opening creates a division on the community

A senseless murder threatens to reignite the historic ties that plagued nottingham

Looking forward to this. Seems ages since last series though!

Bit slow.

So far there is no mystery as such. Just secrets we know already to be revealed.

And people mumbled!

Subtitles is your friend !!!

Thank you for the thread @Blondeshavemorefun.

To refresh memory

Well I hated it.

I'm Nottingham-pit-village born and remember the miners strikes extremely well. This gubbins makes a mockery of my memories, and having people say " me duck" occasionally doesn't make it geographically realistic.

This ep didn’t particularly grip me tbh, just seemed very disjointed and slow. I have seen the first series as well. Got better when Monica Dolan came into it so will give it another go. I grew up on the same estate as the Gunn family, who this appears to be based on.

I'm a bit disappointed it's yet another drug-dealing, gangster storyline, far too many at moment. And some of those young lads looked so similar I was getting mixed up!

Thank you @Blondeshavemorefun for the recap.

I really struggled to remember the first series and thought the preshow recap could have been more thorough! Having said that I liked the sense of building menace. I struggled to work out when it was set- about 10 years ago?

I didn't remember much of the first series , thought I'd watch ep 1 of it as a reminder , but got well stuck into it again and am halfway through series 1 , so not starting the new one yet 😁

I really struggled to remember the first series too, and didn't find the précis upthread much help either! missed last night's ep, but intend to catch up tonight.
