As a dedicated fan who has followed Sophie Rundle’s captivating performances since her days as Ada Thorne in “Peaky Blinders,” I couldn’t be more thrilled about the renewal of ITV’s crime drama, “After the Flood.” The first series was a gripping tale of mystery and suspense that had me hooked from the very first episode.


Sophie Rundle’s ITV crime drama After the Flood has been renewed for a second series.

In January, the initial season featured the “Peaky Blinders” actor portraying police officer Joanna Marshall, assigned to investigate the mysterious death of an unknown individual after a catastrophic natural event had occurred.

ITV has officially announced that the series After the Flood is coming back for an additional six episodes, with production slated to start in and around Greater Manchester and Derbyshire next year.
