ONE of the BBC’s most thrilling dramas in recent years has been renewed for a second season.
Doctor Foster favourite Suranne Jones and Game of Thrones star Rose Leslie are teaming up again for series two of Vigil.
The first series of Vigil was a huge hit
The first series of the programme, which ended 18 months ago, saw Jones, 44, and Aberdeen-born Leslie, 36, portray police detectives investigating a murder on a submarine.
Also starring Line of Duty’s Martin Compston – whose character was shockingly killed off after eight minutes in the first episode – the thriller became the UK’s most watched new drama since Bodyguard in 2018.
Today the BBC announced the new six-part series will see DCI Amy Silva (Jones) and DI Kirsten Longacre (Leslie) tasked with uncovering the cause of multiple unexplained fatalities at a Scottish military facility.
The pair will enter the “hostile and closed ranks of the air force” and “face the deadly warfare of tomorrow as they fight for their own future” alongside returning actor Gary Lewis as DS Colin Robertson.
Fellow Scots actor Dougray Scott will also co-star alongside the likes of Amir El-Masry, David Elliot, Chris Jenks, Tommy Sim’aan, Oscar Salem, Jonathan Ajayi and Hiba Medina.
Jones, who also stars in Gentleman Jack, said: “I’m thrilled to be joining the Vigil team again and continuing our story. We have brilliant new scripts and some amazing additions to the cast. Buckle up. It’s quite a ride.”
While Leslie, married to her ex-Games Of Thrones colleague Kit Harington, added: “I’m delighted to team up with Suranne again and continue Amy and Kirsten’s adventures through a second series of Vigil.
“Tom Edge has created another gripping case for us to grapple with in a whole new setting.”
The second series of Vigil will begin filming in Scotland and Morocco in the spring, the BBC said.
