Wondering what’s going to happen in series two? The BBC has revealed the plot of series two will pick up where things left off at the end of series one.
‘Michael and Diana have barely arrived in Spain when they are dragged back into the fold to answer questions around Ricardo’s death,’ reads the synopsis. ‘Back in Liverpool, tensions continue to bubble amongst the remaining members of the gang. Meanwhile, an old school gangster from Ronnie’s era, recently out of prison, wants compensation from the firm.’
Returning for series two, main characters James Nelson-Joyce will return as Michael Kavanagh, alongside his on-screen partner Hannah Onslow as Diana Williams.
Other returning cast includes Jack McMullen as Jamie Phelan, Mike Noble as Banksey, Julie Graham as Elaine Phelan, widow of murdered gang leader Ronnie (Sean Bean), and Saoirse-Monica Jackson as Cheryl Crawford.
