The first episode of the new season will air on 5 at 9pm on Tuesday 10 March, while the second instalment will follow just one day after on Wednesday 11 March.

e 3&4 the following week

The new season will be made up of four episodes, with every two episodes tackling one case. Returning alongside Clarke in the main cast will be Andrew Gower as DS Chet Harper and Charlotte McCurry as DC Kate Trent.

Meanwhile, other actors set to appear this time around include James Doran, Niamh Blackshaw, Cariad Lloyd, Keir Charles, Mark Addy, Stephen Tompkinson and Sonny Ashbourne Serkis, amongst others.

The synopsis for season 2 says: "Fresh from her victories in series one, DCI Ellis is once again parachuted into failing cases across the north of England. With Harper at her side, she faces a new wave of fractured communities and suspicious deaths that test not only her forensic brilliance but her resilience.

"The series takes them from a rural village, where the suspicious death of a beloved community leader exposes long-nursed resentments, to the industrial shadow of a stone works, where the death of a young woman reveals a hidden network of coercion and exploitation. Every case peels back layers of silence, ambition, and betrayal."

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/03/2026 15:56

Same. Although I don’t get the chance in the evening if football on. So I’ll watch over next few days.

JenniferBooth · 10/03/2026 21:05

I love the lead character in this. Intimidating but cool with it

AlwaysRightISwear · 10/03/2026 22:32

Good first episode.

Blondeshavemorefun · 10/03/2026 22:57

I’m at work so will watch tomorrow before e2 is on

I'll keep watching, but it seemed to me a bit, well, low-wattage. But then a bit of a reveal at the end of the ep! I do quite like this 2+2 episode format, though.

Clawdy · 11/03/2026 08:03

Yes, will keep watching.

daffodilandtulip · 11/03/2026 08:03

I got confused by all the characters! I do love it though. I love how they get sent to the middle of nowhere and just crack on (even if a little bewildered!).

5foot5 · 11/03/2026 13:18

I enjoyed it too. However, there is one mild disappointment, the same one I had with the recent Cooper and Fry. It's meant to be in the Peak District but they film it in Northern Ireland.

Nothing against NI, it obviously has some lovely countryside. But so does the Peak District! I tune in wondering if I will recognise anywhere I know and then realise it was filmed hundreds of miles away.

I can only assume there are some financial incentives or something to filming in NI.

I found the beginning weird. She’s waiting for him in the middle of country road crossroads

then he appears out of nowhere. Did he walk miles
