The BBC has dropped the trailer for Vigil Season 2, as Suranne Jones’ Amy Silva swaps a submarine for the skies.
As revealed by Deadline earlier this year, the protagonist in the hit show from Line of Duty maker World Productions will enter the closed and hostile environment of the Royal Air Force in the upcoming season, tasked with uncovering the cause of multiple unexplained fatalities at a Scottish military base. Following multiple unexplained fatalities at the facility, Silva and her partner DI Kirsten Longacre must face the deadly warfare of tomorrow as they fight for their own future.
Vigil Season 2 will launch on Sunday 10 December and the BBC will drop the first three episodes immediately on iPlayer.
The BAFTA-nominated first series of Vigil, which was set on a submarine, was the BBC’s most watched new drama for four years and both have sold to Peacock in the U.S.
Vigil is written and created by Crown scribe Tom Edge, with episodes by Maryam Hamidi, James Smythe and Ryan O’Sullivan, and Matilda Wnek. Series two was directed by Andy De Emmony (The Nest) and Joss Agnew (Deep State). The producer is Marcus Wilson (Doctor Who) and associate producer is George Aza-Selinger. EPs are Simon Heath and Jake Lushington for World Productions, Gaynor Holmes for the BBC, and Tom Edge. Commissioning Executive for the BBC is Stephanie Fyfe. International distribution is handled by ITV Studios.
