The show stars Sophie Rundle as Jo Marshall (Gentleman Jack, Peaky Blinders), Lorraine Ashbourne (Alma’s Not Normal, Sherwood, Bridgerton) as Molly Marshall, Nicholas Gleaves (The Crown, The Rising) as Sergeant Phil Mackie, Philip Glenister (Belgravia, Life on Mars) as Jack Radcliffe and Matt Stokoe (The Hunt For Raoul Moat, The Bodyguard) returns as Jo’s husband, Pat Holman. The six-part thriller is written, created and executive produced by writer and actor Mick Ford and produced by Manchester-based Quay Street Productions (part of ITV Studios) for ITV and BritBox.
Faye McKeever (Adolescence, The Responder) returns as Kelly Kamali alongside George Bukhari (Ridley, Black Cab) as Keith Kamali and Maui Connock (After the Flood) playing their daughter, Sophie Kamali. Tripti Tripuraneni (House of the Dragon, Casualty) will be returning as PC Deepa Das, Heider Ali (You Don’t Know Me) is DS Babak, Leo Flanagan (Gentleman Jack, Four Lives) is Finn, and Jacqueline Boatswain (Little Disasters, The Sandman) returns as Sarah Mackie. From the press release:
The first-look pictures offer a glimpse of the lead cast returning to their roles as they navigate the changing landscape of their town. We see the underlying tensions between the corrupt Sergeant Mackie and his former ally Jack Radcliffe, as well as a warm mother-daughter moment between Molly and Jo Marshall. The pictures also show the budding partnership between newcomer DS Sam Bradley and Jo Marshall as they investigate the mysterious murders taking place in Waterside.
The second series of After the Flood finds newly promoted detective Jo Marshall (Sophie Rundle) on the trail of a baffling new murder investigation. As tensions simmer in Waterside amid the rising threat of moorland fires and the subsequent risk of further flooding, a body is discovered in bizarre circumstances. Jo’s race to stop the killer brings her into direct conflict with powerful and influential forces within the town, ultimately drawing her into an investigation that becomes deeply personal. One that will require her to operate in secret if she is to have any hope of rooting out the corruption that has blighted the town’s police force — and her own family — for decades.
With a “coming soon” note, we expect a trailer early in the new year.
