Ellis is ready for another round, with Channel 5 unveiling the first-look trailer for the critically acclaimed detective drama, starring Sharon D Clarke in the lead role.
The show burst onto UK screens in October 2024, grabbing the attention of over 2.4 million viewers and breaking ground as the first black solo female-led detective series in British television history.
Sharon, a three-time Olivier Award winner and BAFTA nominee, was celebrated for her depiction of DCI Ellis – a tough, tenacious investigator unafraid to push back against a flawed system.
Series two will see Sharon reunite with Andrew Gower, who plays her trusted partner DS Harper.
The pair are once again dropped into the thick of failing investigations across the north of England, promising more edge-of-your-seat cases and tense police drama.
Viewers won’t have long to wait, with Ellis set to return soon on Channel 5.
