Sam Riley and Neve Campbell have joined the cast of Netflix’s Black Doves season two, along with Ambika Mod, Babou Ceesay, Sylvia Hoeks, Goran Kostic, and Samuel Barnett. The newcomers join returning series stars Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, and Sarah Lancashire.
Andrew Buchan, Kathryn Hunter, Ella Lily Hyland, Gabrielle Creevy, Agnes O’Casey, and Molly Chesworth will also reprise their roles for the upcoming second season of the spy thriller. The streamer reports filming is taking place in and around London.
“I couldn’t be more excited to delve back into the world of our murderous little spy family,” said writer, creator, and executive producer Joe Barton. “To have so many of our amazing cast returning and also being able to add some of my absolute favourite actors into the mix is such a great joy. Downing Street will never be the same again…”
Netflix offers this description of the new season: “Helen (Knightley) is still betraying her nation’s secrets to the covert organization she serves: the Black Doves. But after the misadventures of last Christmas, and with her husband, Wallace (Buchan), preparing to become Prime Minister, she is walking a more treacherous line than ever.
As Helen’s enigmatic handler, Mrs. Reed (Lancashire), is ensnared in a ruthless plot to undermine her position in the Black Doves, Helen is reunited with her best friend Sam (Whishaw). The once high-end triggerman is now reduced to lonely drinks in Soho bars and low-rate hits. As they search for answers, loyalties are weaponized, trust is shattered, and the fight to protect the people they love could cost everything. With all the explosive wit of Series 1, Helen and Sam’s mission leads them back to old friends and enemies, through the dark decisions and painful sacrifices of their pasts, and right to the heart of the Black Doves.”
Season two directors include Julian Farino and Kieron Hawkes, with Keira Knightley, Jane Featherstone, and Chris Fry executive producing. The series is a SISTER production.
