Taking on a Deadly Investigation
The highly-anticipated return of hit BBC drama Vigil is set to bring fans a gripping new mission for beloved detectives Amy Silva and Kirsten Longacre. The first look pictures from the upcoming season reveal that Silva and Longacre have been tasked with investigating deaths during an air force weapons test. However, it seems they may get more than they bargained for.
From Miniseries to Full Season
Originally billed as a miniseries, Vigil is making a comeback for a second season, and it's not surprising considering its massive success. The first season attracted an impressive audience of over 13 million viewers, making it the UK's most-watched new drama launch since Bodyguard in 2018. The show also received critical acclaim, winning the International Emmy and securing a BAFTA nomination for Best Drama Series.
A Stellar Cast
Vigil boasts an exceptional cast, featuring notable actors such as Suranne Jones from Coronation Street, Rose Leslie from Game of Thrones, and Martin Compston from Line of Duty. The first look pictures confirm the return of Suranne and Rose as Amy Silva and Kirsten Longacre, respectively, in the upcoming season, which is set to premiere later this year.
A New Investigation
In this exciting new season, Silva and Longacre enter the secret world of drone warfare to catch a killer. Following a series of deaths during a Scottish weapons test, the detectives are faced with the daunting task of uncovering the cause. Their investigation leads them to the closed ranks of the air force in Scotland and the Middle East, where they encounter the deadly warfare of the future, all while fighting for their own uncertain future.
Intense First Look
The newly released pictures give us a glimpse of the thrilling scenes that viewers can expect. One image shows Silva and Longacre working together to diffuse a tense situation, while another teases the intriguing events taking place at a military airbase. Silva appears cautiously wary as she observes a female soldier in the driver's seat of a car. A third snap reveals that Silva will be transported out of Scotland and hints at the danger she faces, with a dramatic image showing Suranne's character behind a bruised face behind a metal railing. On the other hand, Rose Leslie's character seems to be in trouble herself, captured sprinting through the woods alone.
Returning Cast and Exciting New Additions
Alongside Suranne and Rose, the second season of Vigil welcomes back Gary Lewis as DSU Robertson. The show also boasts a stellar line-up of new cast members, including Romola Garai, Dougray Scott, Amir El-Masry, David Elliot, Chris Jenks, Tommy Sim'aan, Oscar Salem, Jonathan Ajayi, and Hiba Medina in her first major TV role.
Behind the Scenes
