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.

You could certainly read it that way. Which would explain why Daphne didn't in fact labour the point, but just let it lie.

Less of the geriatric and old please 🫤

Sorry! I’ve reported my post and asked to be removed.

Steffi's move to Mansfield being classed as "going up in the world"?!

Why does nobody finish a sentence? Is it supposed to make the dialogue sound more realistic? It’s getting on my bloody……

I agree 💯

Maybe shelf didn't reliese she killed him

I know 🤣

Hope there’s a 3rd series at some point though, we loved it.

I did enjoy it and the acting was great. Just that the plot had more holes than a Swiss cheese.

Def has to have a s3

It was pretty bad in a lot of ways though. For example, there was a scene near the beginning of the finale, and I swear, the stage directions would have been,

[Cue the Sparrow family, all sat round the kitchen table, looking Glum] 😃

Also Ryan was Ivan Sertic in Happy Valley. That was the bird-fancying Eastern European quasi-comedy hitman, no? If I haven't got mixed up with another show.

That's where I've seen Ryan before! It was bugging me.

I've just read the NS review of Sherwood. It's in last week's edition, so doesn't cover the finale. Much like the Guardian, it goes headlong for the brilliant, wonderful, 'isn't James Graham great' line. Rightly praising the acting (esp Lorraine Ashbourne and Monica Dolan), but really? It may be an enjoyable watch, but this is surely not high-quality drama at all, with plot-holes and character inconsistency abounding.

I just can't see Julie and Ian together. Julie is very 'old woman' while Ian in a close fitting dark shirt. Well.

I agree. Although I don't like a dark shirt.
Ian St Clair would go for a younger woman. Like Daphne's daughter.

Ian St Clair would go for a younger woman. Like Daphne's daughter.

Just... no! 😬

It took me ages to work out that the actor playing Roy Branson (Stephen Dillane) is Prometheus in Kaos!

why was daphne's daughter trailing round with her, and why suddenly call her mum,
at least i suppose they didnt just write her out.
why did Ryan shout Mum and they all turned round.
would they really be let off for letting Ann drown?
did not understand the back story between Ian and Julie, was i supposed to remember from series 1?
i did enjoy it though
i thought the Sherriff and the social worker were too young

At least they gave Daphne's daughter something to do at the end. I like that actress but she didn't have much to work with.

Yes was butting me who she was but came to me

She was the midwife in the Kay mellor 6friende lreg series

Took me until the last set of credits!

Also Stannis Baratheon in GOT. Versatile chap.

This might have already been said (not read all previous posts) but did the sheriff's accent do anyone else's head in? It was just too much. Like we get it, she's working class. Surely she can still stick an 'h' on "ere" when she's speaking in public though? Jeeze.
Also the worthiness of Ian's speeches about helping the youth and intervening early etc etc blah blah was just... dull.
I loved the rest of it though.

What he was saying about early intervention was so true though. And so timely.

When he was trying to stop the young lad from getting arrested I couldn't help but think of the young lads who had got involved in the recent rioting and been arrested. What does the future hold for those 12 year old children?
