Suspect season 2: release date, cast, plot, trailer and everything we know

Dr Susannah Newman chats to Detective Superintendent Richard Groves in Suspect season 2.

Suspect season 2 is billed as the thriller of the summer starring Annie-Marie Duff.

Joining Anne-Marie is an all-star cast that includes Death in Paradise star Ben Miller, Friday Night Dinner's Tamsin Greig, The Gold's Dominic Cooper and Bodyguard's Gina McKee.

The thriller will pick up where the original series left off although one major difference is that James Nesbitt isn't in the new series. Here's everything we know about the eight-part series as the release date is finally announced...

Suspect season 2 release date

Suspect season 2 will be released on Channel 4 on Wednesday, July 17 at 9 pm. The first two episodes will air back to back and episodes 3 and 4 will air in the same slot the following evening on Thursday, July 18.

It will air in the US in the Fall on BritBox.

What's the plot?

The makers tease that the story picks up where the first series left off with Susannah on a quest to find out more about her daughter's tragic death. However, when a strange new client makes an odd confession under hypnosis Susannah is forced to embark on a deadly mission to save a life, the way she couldn’t with her own daughter… As mentioned James Nesbitt isn't back as Danny. The first series followed a format where a different actor starred opposite James in each episode. We’d expect the second series to follow the same format although this time each episode will see an actor star opposite Annie-Marie Duff.

Is there a trailer?

Yes, see above! And don't forget you can still catch the first series on channel4.com if you missed the psychological drama when it was on.
