Is Netflix preparing for the second season of the Keira Knightley-led spy thriller Black Doves? Well, let’s explore shall we?
Will There Be Black Doves Season 2?
Yes, indeed. Before the first season of Black Doves even came out, it was already picked up for a second season. Netflix announced that the new show would be back at the Edinburgh TV Festival in August 2024. This is a good sign that the streaming service is sure it will be a hit.
What Could Black Doves Season 2 Be About?
Without giving too much away, we can guess that Helen (Knightley) will have to carry some very important government secrets in season 2 because her husband Wallace Webb (Andrew Buchan) has become more powerful in politics. There is still some doubt about whether she will tell the Black Doves those secrets, since Mrs. Webb’s mysterious behavior in season 1 put her loyalty to the group to the test.
Then, of course, there’s the fallout of the season finale to be considered: Helen and her friend, the triggerman Sam Young (Ben Whishaw), cause a lot of trouble for members of a certain crime family. It’s unlikely that Black Doves will end the story of that family. After all, what could be a better reason for killing than getting even? And since Sam is now working for someone he used to hate, there is still plenty of drama to keep the gunfights going. Could Helen and Sam finally find comfort, safety, and peace? Most likely not.
Who Will Be In The Cast Of Black Doves Season 2?
Knightley and Whishaw are likely to come back as the show’s stable and exciting lead pair. Aside from them, actors Sarah Lancashire (Mrs. Reed), Andrew Buchan (Wallace Webb), Kathryn Hunter (Lenny Lines), Ella Lily Hyland (Williams), Gabrielle Creevy (Eleanor), Luther Ford (Hector), and Omari Douglas (Michael) are also expected to return.
When Is The Release Date For Black Doves Season 2?
We still don’t know. There could be more action on Black Doves as early as December 2025 if the show decides to stick with its ironic holiday theme, but for now that’s just a Christmas wish.
