It’s been quite some time since we last saw Line of Duty (https://www.redonline.co.uk/entertainment/a62947342/line-of-duty-season-7-release-date-cast/)’s Dunbar as police consultant Alex Ridley on our screens, with season one coming to an end two years ago.
But Ridley and co are back and the second instalment of the hit crime drama (https://www.redonline.co.uk/entertainment/g63850895/best-new-crime-dramas-uk/) sounds even more riveting than the first.
This time around, Ridley and DI Carol Farman (played by The Fall’s Bronagh Waugh) are tasked with getting to the bottom of a whole new slate of mysteries, with Ridley facing his most formidable challenges yet.
From shootings to disappearances and even a jewellery heist, retired detective Ridley certainly has his work cut out for him this season.
Here’s everything we know about Ridleyseason two.
Ridley season two: Plot
ITV’s synopsis reads: “In series two of ITV’s detective drama, Ridley, Adrian Dunbar returns to the title role to solve more crimes in the north of England.
“The retired detective turned police consultant resumes his partnership with former protégée, DI Carol Farman, who is now in charge of investigations. [In season two] John Michie joins the cast as Harry Bentham, a likeable and debonair self-made member of the jewellery trade who Ridley vies with for Annie’s attention…”
The broadcaster has also provided fans with an insight into the first episode, revealing: “In the first episode, Ridley starts to investigate when a jewellery heist turns violent, and the thieves take off with their stolen loot. After an interested party is killed in broad daylight, Ridley and Carol have a race against time to discover the identity of the criminal mastermind behind the whole operation. Will the team be able to bring them to justice before more blood is spilled?”
