The second season of the BBC thriller, which was renewed earlier this year, will look very different to the first season – with the action moving from the rails to open water, and following a Belfast-to-Liverpool passenger ferry as it becomes the target of a potentially deadly hack-attack.
Morgan (Merlin) will portray Stephen ‘Bo’ Bowen, and he’ll be joined by Madeleine Mantock (The Long Song) and Christian Cooke (Rematch) in the lead cast as Beth and Johnny.
Other new additions to the cast in season 2 include Rupert Penry-Jones (Spooks), who joins the cast as Richard, Ian McElhinney (Game of Thrones) as Charlie, Sally Lindsay (The Madame Blanc Mysteries) as Lisa, Alexander Arnold (Fuze) as Feeny, Lydia Page (The Confessions of Frannie Langton) as Lola, Christine Bottomley (Sherwood) as Tanya and Julie Dray (Crashing) as Ray.
Fans can expect some familiar faces from the first season, too, with Parth Thakerar (Brassic, Gangs of London), Jonjo O’Neill (Bad Sisters, Andor) and Micah Balfour (EastEnders, Midsomer Murders) set to return as Saj, Hud and Leon.
Leather said in a statement: “It’s so much fun to be embarking on a second Nightsleeper journey on a route I know so well with the Belfast-to-Liverpool ferry as our new box-of-tricks. We’ve assembled such a wonderful cast, I’m so excited about our story and I can’t wait to welcome the audience onboard for a non-stop night to remember…”
Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, added: “We're thrilled to have Colin, Madeleine and Christian lead this new series of Nightsleeper. Nick has delivered another brilliantly gripping story, and with danger lurking beneath the surface at every turn, viewers are in for a truly nail-biting journey.”
