Things become dangerous and life-threatening when the group crosses paths with a ruthless serial killer determined to hide his actions at any cost.

Thompson expressed her excitement about the show’s renewal, and commended the team behind it, including writer Morwenna Banks, who also wrote for Slow Horses and is returning to write again.

She also highly complimented Wilson, calling her a remarkably strong and talented co-star – truly, she felt Wilson was better than she deserved, especially as an experienced actress herself.

The actress said she loves playing Zoë Boehm, describing the character as fun and edgy, and is excited to return to the role. She thanked viewers for their support, saying the show will continue because of them.
