What will season 2 of After the Flood be about?
In season 2 of After the Flood, newly promoted detective Jo Marshall (played by Sophie Rundle) takes on a puzzling new murder case. As Waterside faces growing unease due to the threat of moorland fires and potential flooding, a body turns up under strange and unexplained circumstances.
“Jo's race to stop the killer brings her into direct conflict with dark and influential forces within the town, ultimately drawing her into an investigation that becomes deeply personal", teases the synopsis.
"One that will require her to operate in secret if she is to have any hope of rooting out the corruption that has blighted the town's police force - and her own family - for decades."
