Get ready for a gripping return to the dark and twisted world of The Crow Girl, as Paramount+ U.K. & Ireland officially greenlights Season 2 of the hit drama series starring the incomparable Eve Myles (Hijack, Cold Water, Keeping Faith). But here’s where it gets controversial: can the show maintain its chilling intensity while unraveling even more complex mysteries? Fans are about to find out.
Based on the bestselling novels by Erik Axl Sund—the pen name of Swedish authors Jerker Eriksson and Håkan Axlander Sundquist—the series dives deep into psychological thrills and moral ambiguity. Produced by Buccaneer Media, the minds behind In Flight, The Burning Girls, and Marcella, Season 2 promises to push boundaries even further. Filming kicks off in Bristol later this year, picking up right where the jaw-dropping Season 1 finale left off.
And this is the part most people miss: the intricate web of relationships and secrets that bind the characters. Detective Jeanette Kilburn, fresh from ending her marriage, finds herself entangled with the enigmatic psychologist Dr. Sophia Craven. Meanwhile, her investigation into the murders of young male asylum seekers takes a horrifying turn when a mummified body hidden in a church wall and another in a freezer reveal a chilling connection. As Jeanette digs deeper, Sophia’s suspicions fall on Victoria Burkeman, a former patient with a history of violence and an unsettling familiarity. Could Victoria be the killer? Or is the truth even more terrifyingly close to home?
Returning alongside Myles are fan favorites Katherine Kelly (Mr Bates vs The Post Office, The Long Shadow), Clara Rugaard (Black Mirror, The Rising), and Victoria Hamilton (The Crown, COBRA), with new cast members set to join the fray. Behind the scenes, the powerhouse team includes Buccaneer CEO Tony Wood, screenwriter Milly Thomas, and music icon Slash, alongside Myles, Federico Ambrosini, Niclas Salomonsson, and Sund. Charles Martin will direct, with Debs Pisani producing, and ITV Studios handling distribution.
Commissioned by Sebastian Cardwell and Paul Testar of Paramount+ U.K. & Ireland, the new season aims to build on the success of its predecessor. “The first season captivated audiences with its bold storytelling and standout performances,” Cardwell remarked. “We can’t wait to see where the team takes the story next.” Wood added, “Returning to the world of Jeanette, Sophia, and Victoria is a real thrill. It’s a drama that stretches character and bends time. I’m absolutely delighted to be back.”
