The new season will follow Dani Osborne, a teacher played by former EastEnders (https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/eastenders/)
star Kara Tointon. She gets wrapped up in a murder conspiracy, one that threatens her marriage as well as her job.
he official synopsis reads (https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a61911518/bbc-kin-fool-me-once-emmett-j-scanlan-the-teacher/): "The Teacher II follows the story of Dani, a teacher who loves her job. She's a real mentor and inspiration to her students, but what she lacks is a properly functioning marriage with real intimacy and mutual desire.
"This leads her into an impulsive affair with a fellow colleague that at first answers all her needs, but soon spirals out of control. When a pupil goes missing on a school trip, Dani rightly blames herself for being too easily distracted.
When things start to take a sinister turn, she is forced to lie and quickly finds her life falling to pieces. She risks everything to right the wrongs that she has, in part, been responsible for."
Now I know we all thought omfg why didn’t she clear her name and was a bit cheesy but I will be watching
