Acorn TV's Bloodlands season 2 is all set to air on the platform for US viewers on Monday, February 6, 2023. The series tells the story of a Northern Irish police officer who tackles a wide range of cases whilst battling his own inner demons.
The official synopsis of the show, according to AMC Networks, reads:
''This season DCI Tom Brannick (Nesbitt) returns as the murder of a crooked accountant unravels a trail of greed that threatens to expose the true identity of the legendary assassin codenamed Goliath. Between Tom and redemption stands the accountant’s widow, Olivia (Victoria Smurfit), whose intentions may be far from innocent. They will scheme together, keeping each other in knife point’s reach, as they try to solve the riddle the accountant left behind.''
The description further states:
''As they become more immersed in the puzzle of each other, Tom and Olivia will draw in Tom’s fellow officers DS Niamh McGovern (Charlene McKenna, Ripper Street), DCS Jackie Twomey (Lorcan Cranitch, Cracker) and DC “Birdy” Bird (Chris Walley), as well as his daughter, Izzy (Lola Pettigrew), until deceit and betrayal build to a shattering climax.''
The show stars actor James Nesbitt in the lead role, along with several others portraying important supporting roles. The second season of the show already started airing in the UK on September 18, 2022.
