The BBC and Amazon have signed contracts with Claire Foy and Paul Bettany to be part of the long-expected second season of the series.
In March 2020, the announcement came that Sarah Phelps - the British writer of the Agatha Christie series The ABC Murders and The Pale Horse - had signed up for the second season of A Very English Scandal. The three-part second season will be called A Very British Scandal due to it revolving around a Scottish topic. Production is set to begin later this year.
