Back in early 2023, we followed all the twists and turns of The Gold.

The drama told the story of the 1983 Brink’s-Mat robbery and its aftermath, and it scored a prompt recommission. Now series two is imminent, with six more episodes exploring the decades-long chain of events that followed and the fate of all that stolen gold bullion.

Here’s what to expect in series two of The Gold:

Following multiple court cases and convictions of some of those involved in the theft and handling of the Brink’s-Mat gold, the police realised that they had only ever been on the trail of half of the Brink’s-Mat gold.

Series two is inspired by some of the theories around what happened to the other half. As the police investigation continues, it becomes a tense, high-stakes journey into international money laundering and organised crime. The Brink’s-Mat Task Force embark on a series of dramatic manhunts as they desperately try to solve the longest and most expensive investigation in the history of the Metropolitan Police.

The trailer gives us a first look at series two and the unfolding international investigation. It also shows Slow Horses‘ Jack Lowden, reprising his role as Kenneth Noye (who appears from episode three onwards).

The returning cast also includes Hugh Bonneville, Charlotte Spencer, Emun Elliott, Tom Cullen, Stefanie Martini and Sam Spruell. Joining them are Peter Davison, Amanda Drew, Silas Carson and James Nelson-Joyce.

New additions for series two include Tom Hughes, Stephen Campbell Moore, Joshua McGuire, Tamsin, Joshua Samuels, Rochelle Neil, Antonia Desplat, Lorna Brown, Thomas Coombes, Sean Teale and Olivia Grant.

The series comes from writer Neil Forsyth (Guilt) and Tannadice Pictures, in association with All3Media International, for the BBC.

The Gold returns to BBC One at 9pm on Sunday 8th June 2025. All six episodes will also be available to stream on BBC iPlayer from 6am on the same date. You can catch up with series one on the iPlayer too.
