Crime drama fans, you're in for a treat as it's now been confirmed that BBC Scotland's Granite Harbour is returning for season 2.
The series, which premiered with season 1 in 2022, follows a member of the Royal Military Police as he relocates from Jamaica to Aberdeen for a training scheme with the local police force.
Soon after, he finds himself thrown headfirst into the headline-grabbing murder of a local oil magnate, who is found dead just as his company merges with a renewables firm.
With no shortage of suspects ranging from executive rivals to disgruntled employees, Davis Lindo (Romario Simpson) and supervising officer DCI Lara Bartlett (Hannah Donaldson) set about finding the culprit.
Well, both Simpson and Donaldson will be reprising their roles as Lindo and Bartlett respectively in season 2, with further cast details to be announced.
Speaking about the series renewal, executive producer for BBC Scotland, Gavin Smith, said: “We’re delighted to have Granite Harbour return to BBC Scotland and can’t wait to see Aberdeen shining on screen next year.
"Lindo and Bart are a great double act detective duo and we’re excited to see what crime they come against this time around. The first series of Granite Harbour was an iPlayer success story for the North East and BBC Scotland will continue to develop and support scripted content representing different areas of Scotland.”
The show is lighter in tone than viewers might initially expect, leading one of its stars to describe it as "quite different" to fellow Scottish production Shetland.
Those won over by its off-beat charm will undoubtedly be excited over the news of a second season of Granite Harbour. Here's what we know so far about season 2.
