ITV Karen Pirie to return for season two starring Outlander's Lauren Lyle

Lauren Lyle is set to return as Karen Pirie for another season as ITV bosses have recommissioned the show following its successful debut.

The Outlander actress took on the titular role of the fearless Scottish detective in series one, as the show swiftly became one of ITV's most-watched dramas of 2022. The TV show has been adapted by Emer Kenny from Val McDermid’s hugely popular cold case novels with the second series taking inspiration from A Darker Domain, the second in the Karen Pirie novel series.

Lauren, 29, who is best known for her role as Marsali MacKimmie Fraser in the hit Starz franchise, will take on the role of the young and fearless detective once again. This time round, she'll be reopening the investigation into the unsolved kidnapping of a wealthy young heiress and her baby son back in 1985.
