it’s back !! S2 - 4 episodes

When the thriller first aired in 2022, it captivated audiences with its nail-biting story of a woman gaslit into believing her husband’s ex-wife was out to get her.

Don’t read anymore if haven’t seen s1

Go and watch. Then return

The first series of the psychological thriller was based on Jess Ryder’s 2022 novel of the same name and introduced us to Tasha (Celine Buckens), who had the perfect house, a wonderful husband, Jack (Tom Milson) and a beautiful young daughter. So far, so idyllic.

Only Tasha’s husband's ex-wife, Jen (Janet Montgomery) simply wouldn’t leave them alone.

Or so it seemed. As the plot unfolded, so too did a huge – and rather terrifying - web of lies.

What will happen in The Ex-Wife series 2?

With series 1 having covered the entirety of Jess’s novel, series 2 will be an original story that features the same characters.

The yyyynew four-parter will pick up three years after the conclusion of series 1. Tasha (Celine Buckens) is now hiding in Cyprus with her daughter Emily (Liberty Miller), while Jen (now played by Katie McGrath) has officially moved on and is getting ready to walk down the aisle for a second time.

According to the official synopsis, "Living under false identities, Tashahh has started a new life for herself and Emily. However, Tasha is forced to abandon her fresh start when she learns that Jack has been released from prison early – having only served a year of his sentence.

Jack appears to be a changed man, grieving the death of his daughter and searching for redemption from a newly engaged Jen.

With the shadow of the past haunting all three characters, attempts at moving on only bring them closer together, but who can each of them really trust, and can anyone truly change?"

Just started watching this. Had forgotten how manipulative Jack was in the 1st series - using Tasha just to have a baby because his first wife Jen couldn't have kids 😳

I think the actress that plays Jen (in this series) looks a lot like Keira Knightly.

I agree. Not as pretty though.

I don't think Jen is double crossing anyone. She seems to be just trying to get on with her life with new fiancé Connor. It's both Tash and Jack that won't leave her alone imho. Jack still loves her and thinks the feeling is mutual. I got the impression he was forcefully kissing her at the end of ep1!

Jen would have to work really hard to be as bad as Jack and Tasha! She's no angel, but yeah, I broadly agree!
