Karen Pirie season 2 release date confirmed as acclaimed series tackles dark new cold case
The ITV crime drama is finally returning.

Season 2, which has once again been adapted by Emer Kenny from one of Val McDermid's novels, sees Lauren Lyle return as the titular police officer, who has now been promoted to detective inspector.

The synopsis for season 2 says: "The 1984 case of Catriona and Adam Grant has confounded investigators and intrigued the public like no other.

"Catriona, the charming young heiress to a vast oil fortune, and her two-year-old son Adam, were brutally kidnapped at gunpoint outside a fish and chip shop in Fife.

The ransom notes that followed stirred up an uncontrollable press storm, but when the culprits fell silent, the police faltered, and Catriona and Adam were never seen again."

The synopsis continues: "Now, a man’s body has been discovered, with indisputable links to the original kidnap. With the first piece of evidence in decades, Karen must assemble an unbeatable team alongside her sincere and lovable sidekick DC Jason ‘Mint’ Murray (Chris Jenks) and the brilliant – but romantically complicated – DS Phil Parhatka (Zach Wyatt).

With the international renown of the kidnap and the constant pressure from Catriona’s father, Sir Broderick Grant (James Cosmo), the team take on the biggest challenge of their careers to date.

"As Karen delves deeper into what happened in the autumn of 1984, political grudges and painful secrets reveal themselves, and it soon becomes clear… the past is far from dead."

Also starring in season 2 are Kenny herself, other returnees Steve John Shepherd and Rakhee Thakrar, and newcomers Saskia Ashdown, Frances Tomelty, John Michie, Julia Brown, Mark Rowley, Kat Ronney, Conor Berry, Stuart Campbell, James Fleet and more.

I read this book & will watch on catch up.

I was thinking the same about the parents who must be 85-90? As 45-50 at the start. They didn’t look it. The 2 younger women (friend of missing girl and housekeeper) looked more realistic at 65ish now.

I recorded it so not as long as adverts fill it out plus I like longer episodes. I didn’t see the first series. She seems unnecessarily stroppy over nothing much at times and is putting living people’s lives at risk unnecessarily

Disney only has series one unfortunately

Oh my lord, it’s dull. I’m in the middle of a police interview in ep 3; picked up my phone and MN is way more exciting …

@burnoutbabe I think he might be - I have read all the books and I'm sure there was one where she went back to speak to him in prison about a historic case that he had worked on. It might be this one, but I can't remember much of the story.

(Hope ‘police interview’ isn’t viewed as a spoiler? They’re kind of inevitable in a police procedure show.)

Great first episode. I didn’t find it slow at all.

The boyfriend is wet and boring

not sure if i really enjoyed series 1
just watched an hour of the first episode and it didnt grab me, very light

enjoyed it. we record it, so ff adverts.

The Grace series covers a whole book in one episode, which I think is too quick. This seems to go to the other extreme. I like it, but I think there could be a happy medium for both.

Agree. I do sometimes struggle with grace

bjt equally love John Simms so …….

I don’t think I’m going to watch this as gave up with e2

bit think

3&4 on tonight

I enjoyed that!

I don't really like KP though & there doesn't seem to be much of a partnership going on like oh Morse & Lewis for example.

I’ll watch during the week.

This one’s better than last week’s but 2 hours is sooo long!

Enjoyed this episode. Very clever with lots of twists and turns. Managed to hold my attention for the full two hours.

I’m dithering to try again as did enjoy s1

maybe I need to watch he and he the next night

Right tried this again. In two hours. More enjoyable

so have seen one hour of e1

wil watch 2nd hour later

I def. Eee time to recompress if 2hrs

yet can watch hours of hourly stuff 😂

I'm not sure why they've chosen to set the present day part in 2024, as having read the subsequent books there are a couple of present day plotlines in which Covid lockdown plays a fairly big part in how the plot advances and I don't know how they're going to reconcile that since it's already in the past in the series.

I'm a bit confused here. Surely that was ep #2 on last night, and we haven't had eps #3 and 4 yet?

Who is the mum in now time. The voice and face o recognise

Plus strange the child dad mr Sinclair still worked for her dad yet never met his child

why would he keep him on
