It was announced earlier this week that Turner (Being Human) will lead the show’s new cast as paramedic Ellie, with Gemma Chan (Secret Diary of a Call Girl) joining the cast as Kate’s old friend, Kiera, alongside newcomers Jack Roth and Nikesh Patel as Max and Dan.

Lacey Turner commented: “I am really excited about taking part in the second series of Bedlam! It’s a great story with brilliant writing and a fantastic cast! Ellie is a really interesting and conflicted character I’m looking forward to playing her and seeing where the story takes her.”

Jack Roth said: “I thought the first series was very interesting, opening many exciting doors to explore in a far darker way and I can’t wait to get started on the second one. Horror is a genre which can be capitalized upon brilliantly for television as there is time to fully develop ideas and my character. Max has a great backstory with countless intriguing and mysterious directions to be taken along with Ellie.”

Gemma Chan added: “I think the scripts have a great mix of drama, suspense and supernatural chills that people will really enjoy. Keira’s a complex soul and a bit of a loose cannon; definitely fun to play! It’s going to be a fantastic series and I’m looking forward to working with the new cast.”

Nikesh Patel said: “The new series of Bedlam has a really exciting cast. Dan has a dark side to him which is going to be a lot of fun to play, and I can’t wait to get stuck into the role.”
