Great news for fans of BBC's thrilling series - after a long wait of two years, the highly anticipated second season of Sherwood is finally here! Created and written by James Graham, the show follows a string of shocking murders in a small mining village in Nottinghamshire. The first season left viewers on the edge of their seats as it delved into the aftermath of the 1980s miners' strikes and the ongoing tensions between the community and the police.
The series, which aired in June 2022 and starred David Morrissey and Lesley Manville, received high praise from both critics and fans alike. And now, with the return of the second season, the excitement is at an all-time high. The first season left a lasting impact on the audience, with many taking to social media to express their love for the show. TV critic Scott Bryan even urged people to watch the first season again on BBC iPlayer, which was met with enthusiastic responses from fans who couldn't wait for more.
The first season's success was evident not just from the fan reactions but also from its 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 71% average audience score. With such high ratings and a dedicated fanbase, it's no wonder that the show is back for a second season. David Morrissey is set to reprise his role as Detective Chief Superintendent Ian St Clair, who will be leaving his position to join the council's Violence Intervention Team. Joining the cast are well-known actors such as David Harewood and Monica Dolan, adding even more anticipation for the new season.
For James Graham, this is his first returning series as a writer, having previously won an Olivier award for his play Dear England and worked on other acclaimed projects such as Brexit: The Uncivil War and Quiz. He expressed his excitement for the new season, stating that it was a new challenge to continue the story and develop the characters further. With the world of Sherwood being based on Graham's own upbringing in the Red Wall, he felt there were still many more stories to tell and new characters to introduce.
After the intense manhunt and exploration of historic divisions in the first season, the second season will delve into other pressing issues within the community. The Walking Dead star David Morrissey, who plays Ian St Clair, shared his excitement for his character's development as he takes on a new role within the community. Along with the returning cast, new faces such as David Harewood and Monica Dolan will add depth to the already intriguing storyline.
The wait is finally over, and fans can catch the second season of Sherwood on BBC iPlayer and BBC One starting Sunday, August 25. New episodes will air every Sunday and Monday for three weeks.
