The drama first made its way onto BBC Four in August 2023 and fans have been anticipating the return ever since.

It starred Vikings star and Travis Fimmel as the lead character, Detective James Cormac.

He was also known for his high-profile role as Desmond Hart in the popular HBO series Dune: Prophecy.

The star will return to the publicly funded corporation, but on a different channel.

Fans will be able to watch the detective once again on April 4 on BBC Two as he tries to solve a new and intriguing case.

The first series focused on a detective named Detective Cormac (Fimmel) as he was called to investigate a cold case of murder.

A time capsule was unearthed at a local high school in a small town in North Queensland which left the residents in chaos.

As he dug deeper, the secrets of the unsolved killing of one of its old students started to unravel.

Season two, which has been called ‘Jack of Clubs', sees the inspector return for a missing person case.

In the fictional town of Moorevale, he was called to look into the missing persons case of Zoe Jacobs from 2003.

Set over six instalments, other names to also appear include Dark Shadows and Lincoln personality Gulliver McGrath.

Other stars include Jemmason Power, Talijah Blackman-Corowa, Eden Cassady, and Seini Willett.
