ITV crime drama DI Ray (www.digitalspy.com/tv/a42520296/di-ray-season-2-parminder-nagra-update/) has finally confirmed a release date for season two.
Parminder Nagra will return as DI Rachita Ray for the hit show's long-anticipated second season, which will premiere on Sunday, October 20.

DI Ray's first season premiered back in May 2022 (www.digitalspy.com/tv/a39897102/di-ray-gruesome-twist-episode-2/)
, following the titular detective as she investigated the murder of a high-profile criminal against a backdrop of systemic racism.

DONT READ BELOW IF HAVENT SEEN s1

The season concluded (www.digitalspy.com/tv/a39893021/di-ray-ending-explained-imran-killer/) with Rach uncovering who was behind the murder of Imran Aziz, before being suspended by the chief of police pending further investigation.

DI Ray was renewed for a second season (www.digitalspy.com/tv/a42070054/itv-confirms-di-ray-future-parminder-nagra/) in November 2022, with Nagra sharing in a statement at the time: "How lovely to have got the response that we did for series one.
"Thanks to our audience and to ITV and our amazing
talented producers Maya Sondhi, Jed Mercurio, Madonna Baptiste, Jimmy Mulville, we get to do it again. We look forward to taking you on another thrilling adventure!"

Season two will pick up two months after Rach's suspension, with the detective finding herself thrust back into homicide after a fatal drive-by shooting kills Frank Chapman, the head of a notorious local crime syndicate.

The offical synopsis continues: "DI Ray is in a race against time to uncover the truth before the Chapman family act out their revenge and an all-out gang war erupts onto the streets."

Other returning cast members include Gemma Whelan as DCI Kerry Henderson, Jamie Bamber as DI Martyn Hunter and Steve Oram as DS Clive Bottomley.

One cast member who won't be returning is Maanuv Thiara, whose character PS Tony Khatri died at the end of season one.

Two actors from This is England in this!

E4 tonight

Done Showtrial now, so I'm going in!

See. Beardy cooler isnt a baddie

That was a red herring

That chat was with his wife. I think

The texts Ray saw doesn't make him a curupt officer

But he could be more supportive to her as a colleague

And not racist chat. Esp as his gf is not white.

So it's amara ? Is that right who a baddie and not any of her colleagues

E4 recap

interactive.wttw.com/playlist/2024/07/07/di-ray-recap-season-2-episode-4

The texts reminded me of the D4 group chat in Showtrial!

They all blend into one in the end...

Very true @duc748

I've read the beginning of the thread and then skipped a big chunk because I've just watched series 1 and now intend to catch up with series 2, so I can't read properly until I've seen it all.

Just remember
A
B
C 😀

Also, I was moved to look up a recipe for dal chawal, which sounds delicious, and for which I have every ingredient except toor dal, which is unobtainable here. I need to head into darkest Bolton for that.

Naughty Blondes!

What did I do or say !

We don't know! 😀

Weird. I've just messaged mnhq to ask

Ah I know. It was a word that I shouldn't have used but I was quoting the text that was shown on tv

So the number isn't in the police files of who wrote the texts

So who are they ?
Esp if a police chat

I hope it's not Patrick baldi - tho he did say to her report it

But guessing it's beardman her boss

Plus can you get fingerprints off a coat. He had bare hands when held a gun against her head by her car

Def try to pin it on her as the other lady said. Think her lawyer

An Asian shot another Asian isn't as bad as a white person 🥲

Def a lot of racist remarks in this series - but I guess that's the plot

Beardsman is obv dodgy

Wonder who complained about her

OMFG kidney on the black market

It gets more complex

So least we know it's not Clive making remarks in the group chat and that why he got chucked out by his wife

Too right

the coward to not just leave the group chat esp as married to an Asian

Wonder how this will pan out tomorrow night

Glad it's 3 in a row this week

E5 recap

interactive.wttw.com/playlist/2024/07/14/di-ray-recap-season-2-episode-5

Rav's death was obviously a hit job, which suggests that the 'bent copper' isn't just some lowly DC, but someone much higher up the food-chain. The Patrick Baladi character is an interesting one; can he trusted as a confidante (or even possible shag? 😀). He is so often cast as the sleazy two-timing husband. But maybe he can be the good guy this time. Or not.

I've just read the recap posted upthread, and I think it's fair to say it states a few things as fact that were only implied in the episode.

That's why I wondered if him

As often a baddie

But think it's beardsmore the boss

I wondered how is she even in this group chat where they are using the racist language - do the others definitely realise she is in there? In the long list of unrealistic items someone listed upthread, I don’t think they would have added a female Asian DI to that chat thread in the first place.

She isn't in it

She saw it on Clive's beardy bloke phone

Ignore me - clearly i haven’t been paying enough attention 😂

😂😂

Last one tonight
