Gone returning to ITV1 for a second series
With Keeley Hawes joining Eve Myles for series two!
ITV1 has announced that George Kay's compelling drama Gone will return for a second series, with Eve Myles back as tenacious Detective Sergeant Annie Cassidy and investigating a new case.
She'll be joined by Keeley Hawes as Ruth Manning, a pre-eminent and devoted paediatric surgeon working at Bristol's Makeway Hospital, who comes into the crosshairs of DS Annie Cassidy when it becomes apparent that, for the greater good of her patients, she could be hiding the dark truth about a series of historical crimes.
On returning to Gone, Eve Myles said "I can’t wait to get back to Annie! A very special project and character. I’m really excited to explore a new story with a brilliant cast!"
To which writer George Kay added "I’m thrilled to be back in the world of DS Annie Cassidy, played by Eve Myles, who brings such wit and depth to all her roles. This time she’ll be trying to find the truth about the character of Ruth Manning, a high-end paediatric surgeon played by the brilliant Keeley Hawes, who I’ve hoped to work with for so long and now finally get the chance."
And ITV's Director of Drama, Polly Hill, said "“We had a phenomenal response to Gone, which was a testament to George Kay’s brilliant scripts, and we are delighted that George will bring the audience another series and a new case for Annie Cassidy."
"In series 2 Dr Ruth Manning is under the microscope, played by the wonderful Keeley Hawes. Once again George’s brilliant storytelling takes you into the heart of a family unravelling as Annie investigates a new case in another emotionally truthful and surprising story. Produced by Willow Grylls and New Pictures and Observatory Pictures, we are so proud of this drama and delighted to give the audience more."
Made by New Pictures and George Kay's Observatory Pictures, in association with Banijay Rights, Gone is written and created by George Kay, executive produced by Willow Grylls, Matt Sandford and George Kay, and will be filmed in Bristol in 2027.
Gone is partly inspired by the book To Hunt a Killer and the real-life work of former Detective Superintendent Julie Mackay and ITV Crime Correspondent Robert Murphy, who both serve as consultants on the production.
