Acorn TV and Channel 5 shared the following about the series' renewal:
“Following a critically acclaimed first season, Acorn TV and Channel 5 today announce the return of the groundbreaking detective drama Ellis, starring three-time Olivier Award winner Sharon D. Clarke and Andrew Gower.
From Company Pictures, in association with All3Media International and Northern Ireland Screen, the first season of Ellis quickly became a beloved favourite with Acorn TV audiences. Clarke (Showtrial) won praise for her portrayal of DCI Ellis – a detective battling a flawed system.
Season two, comprising three two-hour episodes, will once again follow the tenacious DCI alongside her right-hand man, DS Harper, played by Andrew Gower (Carnival Row), as they are called in to help investigate failed cases in the North of England.”
On entering the world of Inspector Ellis again for Season 2, Sharon D Clarke says: “I am thrilled to return as DCI Ellis. The response to the first series was overwhelming, and I am excited to continue this journey with such a talented team, especially with the wonderful Andrew Gower by my side. Ellis is a character who resonates deeply, and I can’t wait for audiences to see what we have in store for her and Harper in series two.”
The start date for season two will be announced at a later date.
