BBC Two’s highest rated drama series in ten years, The Fall, returns for Season 2. Following Season 1’s gripping cliff-hanger, Gillian Anderson (Hannibal, The X Files), returns as Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson who is on the trail of serial murderer Paul Spector played by Jamie Dornan (Fifty Shades of Grey, Once Upon a Time). Set in Belfast, Northern Ireland ‘The Fall Season 2’ is written and directed by Emmy® Award-winning Allan Cubitt (The Boys Are Back, Murphy’s Law, Prime Suspect 2). Despite Gibson and Spector never actually meeting on screen, the chemistry between the two characters was electric and the escalating rivalry became the lynchpin of the first season and left the audience crying out for more.
This critically acclaimed series produced by Emmy Award-winning producer Gub Neal and Julian Stevens, picks up immediately from where series one left off, with Gibson in pursuit of Spector. A personal link from Spector’s past opens up some clues for Gibson but provokes Spector in way that threatens to jeopardise the whole investigation. Gibson is forced to take ever greater risks but the closer she comes to capturing him, the more Spector trespasses into her private world, delighting in taunting and provoking her. As the net gradually tightens around him he becomes psychologically ever more dangerous and destructive.
