Bloodlands returns to BBC One this September with series 2, and a cast led by TV favourite James Nesbitt.
But who else is returning to the cast and who is newly joining series 2?
The second run of the crime drama follows a new case – the murder of a crooked accountant.
Once again, the crime is linked to serial killer Goliath’s crimes and threatens to expose DCI Tom Brannick.
Here’s what we know about the cast of Bloodlands series 2 so far.
Bloodlands series 2 cast: James Nesbitt plays DCI Tom Brannick
James Nesbitt reprises his role as DCI Tom Brannick in Bloodlands series 2.
He’s a police officer who has been on the force in Northern Ireland since the 90s.
While the first series saw Tom Brannick chase down the identity of the legendary killer Goliath, the Bloodlands series finale revealed that Goliath was no other than Tom himself!
BENT COPPER ALERT!
The second series sees the murder of a crooked accountant threaten to expose Tom’s identity as Goliath, but the accountant’s widow is determined to find out the truth.
Northern Irish actor James Nesbitt, 57, is probably best known for his role as Adam Williams in Cold Feet, which he starred in between 1997 and 2020.
James has had success in film roles such as Match Point, Bloody Sunday, Waking Ned Devine, and the Hobbit franchise where he played Bolfur.
His successful TV career has seen him star in the likes of The Missing, Lucky Man, Ballykissangel, Playing the Field, Stay Close and The Secret.
He recently had a short stint in Line of Duty, as well as the lead role in Channel 4 mini-series Suspect.
Lorcan Cranitch returns as DCS Jackie Twomey
Lorcan Cranitch returns as DCS Jackie Twomey, Tom’s superior.
The first series of Bloodlands saw Tom try to frame his boss as Goliath.
Although Jackie DOES have a dodgy past, he’s not the serial killer.
Actor Lorcan is probably best known as Sean Dillon in the BBC series Ballykissangel.
He’s also known as DS Jimmy Beck in the ITV series Cracker.
Lorcan, 63, had a starring role in the series Rome, and recently featured in the Britbox Original series Magpie Murders.
