New characters shake up the small town of Kilton

Several new cast members are set to join the unfolding drama. Misia Butler (KAOS) will play Stanley Forbes, while Eden Hambelton Davies (Tell Me Everything) appears as Jamie Reynolds, the missing brother of Connor (played by returning star Jude Morgan-Collie).

Also joining the cast is Jack Rowan (Noughts and Crosses) as Charlie Green, Pip’s new neighbour who becomes entangled in the chaos surrounding her latest case. Additional new faces include Anna Brindle (The Outs), Peter Sullivan (Around The World In 80 Days), Freddie Thorp (Fate: The Winx Saga), Lu Corfield (The Crow Girl), Stephanie Street (Breathtaking) and Freddie England.

They’ll appear alongside returning actors from season one, including Zain Iqbal, Henry Ashton, Asha Banks, Yali Topol Margalith and Morgan-Collie.

Plot hints at darker themes as Pip is drawn back in

Season two picks up after Pip’s explosive investigation into Andie Bell’s murder. But despite her resolve to stay out of trouble, she finds herself pulled into another mystery when Jamie Reynolds vanishes ahead of Max Hastings’ upcoming trial.

“Pip is determined to fix the fallout,” the official synopsis reads, “and stay away from any more investigations. But as Max Hastings’ trial approaches, Connor’s brother Jamie suddenly disappears and Pip finds herself in a race against time to find him.”

As the case unfolds, Pip’s beliefs about justice are challenged, and her journey leads her further from the ‘good girl’ persona she once clung to.
