‘The Café’ returns to Sky1 for Series 2 this summer

Posted Filed under

Directed by Craig Cash (The Royle Family), the series of eight new 30-minute episodes will begin in July.

The official synopsis reads: “Cyril’s of Weston-Super-Mare is run by the multi-generational trilogy of Mary (June Watson), Carol (Ellie Haddington) and Sarah (Michelle Terry). Itremains as the social hub of the seafront town. Following a spell in London, Sarah is continuing to adjust to life back home. As she attempts to pursue a writing career she is still getting reacquainted with old friends who live in the area including Richard (Ralf Little), Sarah’s former childhood sweetheart, a care home assistant by day and a musician by night and former love rival, John (Daniel Ings).

“At the end of the first series, Carol won her battle to keep the ailing ‘Cyril’s’ open thanks to the support of her regular customers. Sarah received a writing offer she couldn’t refuse but with her love rivals heading off in separate directions, viewers were left wondering – would Sarah fall for Richard or for John?”

New cast members for Series 2 include Robert Glenister (Hustle) as Carol’s ex and Sarah’s estranged father, Phil, and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith (Star Stories) as gardener Jason.
