Fans of the British detective drama Ellis will be pleased to hear that season two is on its way. Channel 5 announced the upcoming season with a short teaser clip on their Instagram page, hinting at more thrilling investigations. The post playfully suggested that when trouble arises, detective Ellis is the one to call.
Good news, everyone! They just announced that DCI Ellis is returning to the game, which is awesome. We don’t have an exact date for the update yet, but it’s coming!
Viewers immediately took to the comments to express their enthusiasm, showering the series with praise and highlighting Sharon D Clarke’s outstanding performance.
What to Read Next
Clarke, known for his performances in the award-winning series Mr Loverman and the BBC legal drama Showtrial, plays the lead inspector in this new show. Many viewers are already comparing the character to the popular detective Vera.
I’ve been checking out the comments on this show, and a lot of people are saying if you’re a fan of Vera, you’ll probably love this one too. They keep mentioning how much they like dramas with those really smart, but kinda grumpy, detectives. One person even said it’s the best show since Vera! Another viewer pointed out it’s similar to Vera – both shows have lead characters with some things in common, but they’re different enough to keep things interesting.
Detective Ellis, along with her partner DS Harper (played by Andrew Gower, known for his role in Outlander), is tasked with resolving stalled investigations throughout the UK. The series, created by Siân Ejiwunmi-Le Berre and Paul Logue, has been renewed for a second series consisting of three feature-length episodes.
Sharon D Clarke, who plays DCI Ellis, said she’s delighted to be back for another series. She was thrilled with the positive reaction to the first season and is looking forward to continuing the story with the talented cast, particularly Andrew Gower.
Audiences will really connect with the character Ellis,” she said. “I’m excited for them to see what happens with her and Harper in the next season.

Acorn TV shared that the show quickly became a hit with viewers, and critics have especially praised its clever plot and the performances of Sharon D Clarke and Andrew Gower.
We’re thrilled to continue the show with another season of thrilling and unexpected cases featuring this fantastic duo.
Ellis season 2 is coming soon, and is set to air on Channel 5 and Acorn TV.
