Unlike the first season's run of three feature-length episodes, we're now getting two two-part instalments, which will be released across a couple of weeks. That means this week will be seeing one case unfold and next, we're set to go on a whole other investigation.
As well as taking on a variety of new cases throughout towns in the north of England, the pair are set to face a new "uncertain" dynamic this time around with the progression of Ellis's relationship with her daughter, Grace.
The detective drama quickly proved to be a hit for 5 upon its season 1 release, not least because of a standout performance from Clarke, who brought the smart and witty detective to life. But when will new season 2 episodes of Ellis air and who will star? Read on for everything you need to know about the second season.
Ellis season 2 release date
The remaining two episodes will then follow the following week on Tuesday 17 and Wednesday 18 March.
Acorn Media Enterprises (Acorn TV) also commented: “Ellis was an instant fan-favourite for the Acorn TV audience and met with rave reviews from top critics for its elevated and smart storytelling brought to life by the incomparable Sharon D Clarke and Andrew Gower. We could not be more excited to dive in on a second season of unpredictable, edge-of-your-seat cases with this dynamic pair.”
What will happen in Ellis season 2?
According to 5, Ellis will "once again follow the DCI, a tenacious cop who, along with her right-hand man DS Harper, is parachuted into failing investigations across the north of England."
"The series takes them from a rural village, where the suspicious death of a beloved community leader exposes long-nursed resentments, to the industrial shadow of a stone works, where the death of a young woman reveals a hidden network of coercion and exploitation. Every case peels back layers of silence, ambition, and betrayal."
Speaking to Radio Times about why keeping that format of UK regional travel in is so important, Gower said: "That was a big appeal for us signing onto the project so to stay true to what makes Ellis unique, that sort of stuff is what makes the show unique.
"I think season 1 is always establishing the show anyway so to build from that, to make it more cinematic, make the stories darker but keep the lightness and brevity to it that makes the show unique … obviously with Sharon D Clarke at the helm, it’s always going to be unique in its sense."
Who star in Ellis season 2?
The only other recurring character in the series is Ellis's boss ACC Alison Leighton (Allison Harding), who also returns for season 2.
