Crime drama Under Salt Marsh will return for a second series, Sky has confirmed.
The first series, which launched on Sky Atlantic in January, followed the enigmatic Detective Eric Bull (Rafe Spall) as he investigated the apparent drowning of an eight-year-old girl in Wales – and the possible links to an unresolved case of a missing girl from three years prior.
Spall will reprise his role as Bull in series two, which sees him relocate to a remote Scottish mining village, where a murder investigation brings him closer to the truth about his own past.
“I am thrilled to be taking the series to another unique part of the UK where we explore a gripping mystery and unearth buried secrets,” said creator Claire Oakley.
“Rafe Spall brought Eric Bull’s idiosyncrasies to life so brilliantly in the first series that taking his character onwards is an absolute pleasure.”
Meghan Lyvers, MD of scripted originals at Sky, added: “Under Salt Marsh deeply connected with our audiences, and we’re delighted to be returning to the world Claire Oakley created for a new chapter. Claire is an exceptional storyteller, with a remarkable ability to create richly drawn characters and a powerful sense of place, and we can’t wait to see where she takes audiences next.
“Rafe brought such complexity and humanity to Bull in the first series, and it’s fantastic to have him back at the heart of this new story.”
Filming is due to take place in Scotland next year ahead of an anticipated release in early 2028.
