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.

Sorry in delay. Hard to find a recap

They should have done a better recap. I couldn't work out why the similar looking young thuggy blokes were killing each other. It was very slow and very dark. Had to turn the brightness way up to see what was going on

This is a better recap

Drugs

He was trying to sell on his patch

He took his drugs hence why he shot him

We don't keep secrets in this family

Said the secretspycop

I'm still not getting into it. Lesley Manville is very good, but the combination of gangstas and hand- wringing isn't doing it for me. Me duck.

I enjoyed e1 last night

Guessing this will be war between the families and cause max dramas

Nicely put! That's where I am at the moment (two-thirds through ep #1).

Who did the young girl kill with the gardening shears?

the brother of Nicky. him and his dad killed her adoptive mum and uncle. she saw more than was shown i suspect and reacted. fair enough tbh!

I thought Series 1 was excellent but I’m not enjoying this one at all.

Omfg

So many deaths

So it's just the sister alive now

We’re gripped!!
Although i’m from Nottm and the overuse of Me Duck is a bit daft. It was last series too.

I agree with you.

No, it was Nicky's cousin.

After watching episode 1 and 2 DP (who is French) asks why British dramas are so depressing (pot, kettle, black lol) but this series is very grim!

I don't understand why the daughter went along with it all. She is now an accessory to murder so worse that being an absconding witness. Also who shot up the family's house if no one knew who they were?

Oh I was traumatised after watching last night! Had to pause the TV for a bit!
Monica Dolan playing the mother is so good, such a nasty character.
They are all great, Lorraine Ashbourne, Lesley Manville
I'm getting worried for the new female Sherriff now too. 😳
Loved the first series which had a few twists as well.

Why did they need the two ladies to go along to point them out, when it seemed they already knew who it was?

I can't decide if it was tense or ridiculous. Also can't decide if it was a bit far fetched, or sadly realistic for some areas of the country.

I thought that too. It seemed they knew who they were already and where they lived. I think this may end up being like Line of Duty with plots that don't make sense.
I don't think the David Harewood character will be dead - too big a star to kill off this early on 😀

@blackcherryconserve
ah right i thought it was his brother. either way he's a wrong un who met a sticky end!

I don't understand why the newly found daughter went along too. Very odd.

Very disappointed. Really enjoyed S1, thought this was awful.

Yes, and carefully not mention the fact that they were black!

It's the messen and hissen that's grating on me a bit - you get that much more further up like Worksop way, never heard any of it around Mashfield and it doesn't sound natural when they do it!
