The Gold season 2 air date confirmed – get first look at Hugh Bonneville and co in new trailer
It has also been announced that Jack Lowden is returning to the cast.
Hit BBC drama The Gold is almost back on our screens for its second and final season – and now we know exactly when it will arrive.
It has been announced that all six episodes of season 2 will debut on BBC iPlayer at 6am on Sunday 8th June, with the first episode then airing that night at 9pm on BBC One.
This announcement was made alongside the release of a new trailer, which gives us a glimpse at Hugh Bonneville's Brian Boyce and his team on their mission to recover the second half of the Brink's-Mat gold.
Meanwhile, the trailer also confirms the previously unannounced return of Jack Lowden as Kenneth Noye, after the character ended up in prison at the end of season 1.
Viewers can expect to see Lowden back in the series from episode 3 onwards.
The official synopsis for season 2 says: "Following multiple court cases and convictions of some of those involved in the theft and handling of the Brink’s-Mat gold, the police realised that they had only ever been on the trail of half of the Brink’s-Mat gold. Season 2 is inspired by some of the theories around what happened to the other half.
