Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag has added Andrew Scott to its cast for the upcoming second series. Scott, best known for his stunning performance as Moriarty in Sherlock, has nabbed an as-yet-undisclosed role in the sophomore series of the dark BBC/Amazon comedy.

Deadline reported the news, as well as confirming that filming has begun on Fleabag series 2. Alongside Scott and creator/star Waller-Bridge on the call sheet are returnees Olivia Colman, Sian Clifford, Bill Paterson, Brett Gelman, Jenny Rainsford and Hugh Skinner.

Waller-Bridge, who has brought us Killing Eve and a memorable droid performance in Solo: A Star Wars Story since the success of Fleabag‘s first run, released this short statement as work began on series 2 and Scott’s involvement was confirmed:

“I can’t believe they let me do this again. I’m so happy to be back with the incredible Fleabag team and I’m as surprised as anyone about where this series has taken us… thank God for Andrew Scott.”

The BBC’s Shane Allen added this:

“The series 2 scripts are knockout – sparkling with Phoebe’s unique voice that combines a whip smart complexity of character with pin sharp funny lines scattered everywhere. The themes of this series are very distinct from the first series which delivers on the challenge Phoebe set herself. It’s a superb team and cast from top to bottom and with Fleabag you can never escape a reference to the bottom.”

And Amazon’s Albert Cheng said this:

“Since Season One of Fleabag debuted on Prime Video, the audience has rallied around this biting, boundary-pushing comedy series featuring a sharp female protagonist that is quite unlike anything currently airing. We are excited that Season Two production has begun and proud to be in business with the immensely talented Phoebe Waller-Bridge and we look forward to bringing this critically acclaimed socially relevant series back to our Prime customers.”
