BBC Scotland’s original crime drama, Granite Harbour, will return to our screens for season 2 sooner than you think. Considering it was a major hit on BBC iPlayer (season 1 accumulated 7.6 million streams in the U.K. alone), this renewal is no surprise.
Set and filmed in Aberdeen, Granite Harbour follows young, ambitious, and determined ex-Royal Military policeman Davis Lindo as a fresh recruit working for Police Scotland. Though most of his new coworkers are skeptical of his skills, his assigned partner, DS Lara “Bart” Bartlett, sees his potential and helps keep him out of too much trouble. Together, they make an odd but compelling pair, and both characters will return for Granite Harbour’s second series.
Season 2 premiered in the U.K. in May this year. In the U.S., we now finally have a release date, too. All three episodes of Granite Harbour season 2 will premiere on BritBox on August 15.
This season, like the first, consists of three hour-long episodes which will unravel one overarching case. As revealed by the BBC, Granite Harbour season 2 will see Lindo and Bart set out for the harbor to “investigate the origins of a new crime wave sweeping the city.” The official synopsis is as follows:
“Granite Harbour returns to Aberdeen for a new three-part second series as Lindo, Bart, and the police team investigate two fatal cases with dark consequences at their heart, immersing the Major Investigations Team in the granite city’s criminal underworld. When drug kingpin Grace McFadden’s notorious fixer turns up dead, the MIT have their work cut out to find the source of a new cocaine and ketamine compound flooding the streets. Fearing an impending drugs-turf war is brewing, the team fights to uncover the truth.”
Romario Simpson and Hannah Donaldson will both return as DC Davis Lindo and DS Lara Bartlett, respectively. Also reprising their roles are Bhav Joshi as DI Jay Mallick, Dawn Steele as DCI Cora MacMillan, and Michelle Jeram as DS Simone ‘Monty’ Montrose.
