©The Hollywood Reporter - Apple TVEmma Thompson, who is both the lead actress and executive producer, responded enthusiastically to the renewal. She expressed her delight that the series has been so well-received that a continuation is justified. She particularly mentioned the pleasure of collaborating again with screenwriter Morwenna Banks and Ruth Wilson.
Thompson described her character Zoë Boehm as a “punk-like, wonderfully cheeky presence” and stated that she can't wait to step back into that role. She explicitly thanked the audience, as their support is key to a new season.
In season two, Zoë Boehm (Thompson) and Sarah Trafford (Wilson) are reunited to unravel a new, twisted mystery. The story begins when a woman falls in front of a train and Zoë is asked to investigate the incident.
What initially seems like a straightforward case quickly spirals out of control, turning Zoë’s life upside down. Along with Sarah, she finds herself in the glamorous yet ruthless world of illegal antiquities trade. The situation becomes increasingly dangerous as they track a ruthless serial killer determined to keep his crimes hidden.
According to Jay Hunt, Creative Director Europe at Apple TV, viewers worldwide have embraced the unlikely combination of Zoë and Sarah. He emphasized that their sharp, biting humor is a significant part of the show's appeal and that he is pleased this duo is returning.
