ITV has confirmed that the second series of crime drama After the Flood will replace the recently concluded Red Eye in the Sunday and Monday night 9pm slots. The first series of Red Eye ended on January 12, with a third series already in development.
After the Flood returns with Sophie Rundle reprising her role as Detective Jo Marshall. The six-episode series begins on Sunday, January 18, on ITV and STV, with streaming available on ITVX and STV Player.
The new series sees Jo promoted to detective and investigating a murder on the moors. The synopsis states: '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.'
Returning cast members include Lorraine Ashbourne, Nicholas Gleaves, Philip Glenister, and Matt Stokoe. New additions for series two are Alun Armstrong as Alan Benson and Jill Halfpenny as DS Sam Bradley.
Sophie Rundle said of the new series: 'What unfolds is this spider web of conspiracy and lies... Something is going on within the community that she needs to unpick, and all is not as it seems.'
