ITV has confirmed a second series of the psychological crime drama Gone, with Keeley Hawes joining the cast. The announcement was made on Thursday, November 5, 2026.
Eve Myles will reprise her role as DS Annie Cassidy, who in the first series investigated the disappearance of headmaster Michael Polly's wife, played by David Morrissey. The case became complicated when Polly emerged as the principal suspect.

ITV viewers reacted enthusiastically to the announcement on Instagram, with one posting: "YES YES YES AND YES." Another remarked: "What a combination of Talent!! Holy s**t @teamevemyles25 I'm ecstatic!!!"
