As Netflix drops spy thriller TV series Black Doves, we need to know one thing – will there be as season 2?
The TV show – which we just know is going to be a hit – follows the story of Keira Knightley‘s Helen Webb, a politician’s wife who has been leaking government’s secrets for a decade in her role as a spy. When her secret lover is killed on the South Bank, she is set on revenge – but must also consider that his killer might be after her too, so she must protect her family from the dark presence who murdered the man she loved.
One thing we would also say is that while Black Doves centres around avenging the death of a romantic lover, there is platonic love at the centre too. The friendship between Keira’s character Helen and Ben Whishaw’s Sam is a beautiful thing to watch – even when they’re plotting murders. If you love festive feels and shoot outs, this show is for you.
It’s a super exciting premise, with a female spy lead. We love to see it. Here’s everything we know about a potential Black Doves season 2.
Is there going to be a Black Doves season 2?
Yes – in a rare move from Netflix, the streamer confirmed that the show has already been renewed for a second season, before the first season even drops. This was announced at Edinburgh TV festival earlier this year. We’re even more excited for what’s to come now.
Black Doves season 2 plot
No plot synopsis has been released yet, but we imagine it will continue the adventures of Keira’s ruthless spy Helen Webb. Will it begin with another murder, like the death of Helen’s lover Jason – played by Andrew Koji – and will other members of the Black Doves season 1 cast return?
Black Doves season 2 cast
Cast announcements for season 2 haven’t dropped yet but – character deaths notwithstanding – here’s who we’d like to see in Black Doves season 2.
