Karen Pirie writer Emer Kenny confirms release window for season 2
Kenny has also said season 2 is "a little bit more epic" and "a little bit bigger".
It's been almost a year since the second season of ITV detective drama Karen Pirie started filming, and finally we have got an update on when we can expect to see the new episodes.
While speaking with RadioTimes.com about her role in Formula 1 game mode Braking Point 3, Emer Kenny, who not only writes in Karen Pirie but also plays the character of River, revealed when we can expect to see it.
"My show, Karen Pirie, season 2 of that is coming out this summer," she said, "which is really exciting, because it's been a while since we've finished shooting it.
"So I'm just really pumped for it to be out in the world on ITV on Sunday nights. This time it's about a kidnap of a billionaire heiress, so it's a little bit more epic, a little bit bigger, and I'm just really excited for people to see."
Kenny also went on to say that the reception to the first season was "really nice", so she hoped they could bring the fans "something that is just as good".
