ITV drama branded “must-watch thriller of the year” gets exciting update after “overwhelming” response

I’m thrilled to share that my favorite show, Code of Silence starring the talented Rose Ayling Ellis, is coming back for a second season! The incredible response from viewers during its first season has led to this exciting news. Can’t wait to see what unfolds next!

The news about the renewal of the show was announced through a press release by ITV, stating that it is now the highest-rated drama series on every platform and channel during the second quarter of 2025.

The show, where Deaf character Alison Brooks (played by Ayling-Ellis) employs her lip-reading abilities to assist the police in apprehending a criminal group, has been hailed by Stylist as “a significant step forward for inclusivity and representation” and “the unmissable thriller of the year“.

ITV’s reaction from home audience was “extremely positive.” A YouGov poll showcased appreciation towards the initial series for its authentic representation of British Sign Language within an engaging storyline, and for redefining lip-reading as a significant ability.

In an interview about the show, the main actor Ayling-Ellis expressed their joy saying, “I’m thrilled that Code of Silence has been renewed for another season.

The initial installment’s reaction was phenomenal, and I feel deeply grateful to contribute to a production that not only leaves viewers breathless with anticipation, but also centers a deaf character in its narrative.

She commented: “I can hardly wait to find out what happens next on Alison’s path, and it’s a delight to collaborate once more with the talented cast, team, and creators of this series.

As a gamer, I can’t contain my excitement over the renewal of Code of Silence! The overwhelmingly positive feedback on the first season has me jumping with joy! I can hardly wait to dive back into the world of Alison and tackle another captivating case.

I’ve found it an honor to share a tale that broadens the portrayal of the Deaf community, all while keeping you on the edge of your seat with its surprises and unexpected turns.

Rose infuses such warmth and intricacy into her portrayal, and I’m thrilled about moving forward into the next phase alongside her, ITV, and the exceptionally talented Mammoth crew.

Work on the second sequence has already begun, and it’s planned to start shooting next year. At this time, specifics about the cast and production are being kept confidential.
