Get ready! The hit detective series starring Nicola Walker as Annika will grace our TVs tonight, taking over the coveted Saturday evening spot on BBC One at 9:10 PM. Simultaneously, it will be available for streaming on BBC iPlayer.
In the UK, the second season was broadcast initially on U&Alibi in 2023, following the same release pattern as the first season. If you’ve been eagerly anticipating this new set of episodes to appear on BBC or simply want to re-watch, now is your opportunity!
I’m hooked on the crime series Annika, where I, as a fan, follow DI Annika Strandhed (Walker) leading the Marine Homicide Unit (MHU). She delves into the enigmas and murders that unfold along the Scottish coastline. The show also features Jamie Sives, fresh from Netflix’s police drama Dept. Q, as DS Michael McAndrews. Katie Leung, known for her role in Nightsleeper, plays DC Blair Ferguson, and Paul McGann, recognized from Bookish, portrays Jake Strathearn.
Viewers are in for a delight with the second season, as it’s been highly acclaimed and boasts an impressive 83% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. As The Herald put it, “Annika seems to have materialized miraculously to revive faith in TV dramas.” Meanwhile, the Chicago Tribune commented that among police procedurals, “Annika stands out as one of the top choices…
The crowd appeared to express numerous positive comments as well, some even referring to Annika as an intriguing mystery that sets itself apart within the genre. One viewer termed the narrative as captivating, while another found it charming. Additionally, there was significant acclaim for Nicola Walker’s acting performance.
In the second season, expect even more mind-boggling and startling criminal cases. However, it seems that Strandhed’s private life will go through rough waters as well, as she harbors a hidden truth within her family…
Annika’s second season premieres on BBC One this coming Saturday, August 2nd, at 9:10 PM. You can also find it on BBC iPlayer.
