The cameras are rolling once again for the second series of ITV drama After The Flood.
The six-part drama, written by BAFTA-nominated Mick Ford, is now in production in Greater Manchester and Derbyshire.
The new series, produced by Quay Street Productions, promises to deliver another dose of suspense as Detective Jo Marshall (played by Sophie Rundle) takes on a new and chilling case.
What’s to come
After the dramatic events of the first season, Jo finds herself newly promoted and thrust into another complex investigation. A body turns up under strange circumstances just as the town of Waterside faces the dual threat of wildfires and flooding.
As Jo digs deeper, she uncovers dark secrets that force her to go undercover, taking on forces that have held a grip on the town and its police force for decades.
