Paramount+ UK & Ireland has ordered a second season of drama The Crow Girl from Buccaneer Media (In Flight, The Burning Girls, Marcella).
Returning to their roles are Eve Myles (Hijack, Keeping Faith), Katherine Kelly (Mr Bates vs The Post Office, The Long Shadow), Clara Rugaard (Black Mirror, The Rising), Victoria Hamilton (The Crown, COBRA) and more, with new cast members to be announced.
Picking up the morning after the events of Series 1, Bristol Police Detective Jeanette Kilburn has ended her marriage and found herself in bed with enigmatic psychologist Dr. Sophia Craven. Jeanette’s hunt for the killers of young male asylum seekers takes a shocking new turn when a mummified body discovered in a church wall and a body in a freezer reveal a chilling connection. As Jeanette digs deeper, Sophia begins to suspect Victoria Burkeman, her mysterious and unstable former patient who has previously been convicted for multiple murders, could be responsible. With the case growing darker, Sophia suspects Victoria is more familiar than she thought, and Jeanette must face the terrifying truth: the killer may be closer than she ever imagined.
Executive Producers include Buccaneer’s Tony Wood, Screenwriter Milly Thomas alongside Slash, Eve Myles, Federico Ambrosini, Niclas Salomonsson and Erik Axl Sund. Charles Martin is confirmed to direct, and Debs Pisani produce. The second season of The Crow Girl is produced in association with and distributed by ITV Studios.
The new season was commissioned by Sebastian Cardwell, Deputy Chief Content Officer, UK, and Paul Testar, Commissioning Editor, for Paramount+ UK & Ireland.
On the renewal, Cardwell said “We’re delighted to be continuing our partnership with Buccaneer on THE CROW GIRL. The first season captivated audiences with its bold storytelling and standout performances, and we can’t wait to see where the team takes the story next”.
Tony Wood, Executive Producer and CEO of Buccaneer said: “The opportunity to return to the world of DCI Jeanette, Sophia and Victoria is a real thrill; it’s a drama that stretches character and bends time. I’m absolutely delighted to be back”
