The Split Up star Shalini Peiris has teased more drama for the legal team as the first season dramatically concludes on Monday evening (October 5).
Fans will no doubt be hoping for another scandalous season, but the BBC hasn't yet announced plans for a second series of the legal drama, which is a spin-off of The Split.
Based on Abi Morgan's The Split but created by Ursula Rani Sarma, the six-part legal series focuses on an entirely new family and their law firm, along with all their personal woes.
Six episodes of thrilling plots
Within only six episodes, the series has packed in thrilling plots from love affairs to custody battles, divorce settlements, secret family connections, and of course, a focus on who will take over Kishan Law.
On Monday's episode (October 5) of BBC's Morning Live, The Split Up actress Shalini Peiris joined hosts Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones via video link to talk about her character Zoya Bassu.
In the BBC drama, Zoya, who was born and raised in Delhi, India, found herself in Manchester through a high-profile case.
Zoya's secret family connection
It didn't take long for her to be revealed as the secret daughter of Dhruv Kishan (Sanjeev Bhaskar), the patriarch and founder of Kishan Law. She was also married to an abusive ex-husband, Vivek (Charlie de Melo).
As the series concludes, Helen Skelton questioned Shalini on her expectations for another series. She asked, "Where would you like the show to go?"
Shalini expressed hope that her character's story will continue into a second season following a tense finale.
Hope for a second season
She explained: "I just want Zoya to be ok. But I feel like it does end with a few dots, dots, dots, which I think it would be interesting to kind of go into answering those questions."
"But I do just want Zoya to be ok because of that ex-husband of hers."
"You don't want her to be too ok as you want her to be in the next series, don't you?", Gethin added.
"Yeah, no, that is true. Just the right level of drama, you know", Shalini confirmed.
Morning Live airs weekdays at 9.30am on BBC One and iPlayer, while The Split Up concludes Monday at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
