New trailer and further pictures for second series of hit BBC drama The Gold
The BBC has announced that the critically-acclaimed factual drama The Gold will return for its second series on Sunday 8 June. All episodes will be available to stream on BBC iPlayer from 6am, ahead of the series starting on BBC One at 9pm that night.
The Gold is inspired by the true story and theories of the 1983 Brink's-Mat robbery, which saw the theft of £26 million worth of gold bullion, and the decades-long chain of events that followed. The six-part series is from award-winning writer Neil Forsyth (Guilt, Eric, Ernie & Me) and is produced by Tannadice Pictures, in association with All3Media International, for the BBC. The first series of The Gold aired in February 2023 with 8.7 million viewers for episode one.
Following multiple court cases and convictions of some of those involved in the theft and handling of the Brink's-Mat gold, the police realised that they had only ever been on the trail of half of the Brink's-Mat gold. Series two is inspired by some of the theories around what happened to the other half. As the police investigation continues, it becomes a tense, high-stakes journey into international money laundering and organised crime. The Brink's-Mat Task Force embark on a series of dramatic manhunts as they desperately try to solve the longest and most expensive investigation in the history of the Metropolitan Police.
The brand-new trailer, released today, gives a first glimpse into series two and how the investigation unravels on an international scale. The trailer also shows BAFTA-nominated actor Jack Lowden (Slow Horses) reprise his role as Kenneth Noye. He will feature from episode three onwards.
Returning cast include: Hugh Bonneville (Brian Boyce), Charlotte Spencer (Nicki Jennings), Emun Elliott (Tony Brightwell), Tom Cullen (John Palmer), Stefanie Martini (Marnie Palmer) and Sam Spruell (Charlie Miller) as the investigation around what happened to the gold continues to unfold. Additional returning cast includes Peter Davison (Assistant Commissioner Gordon Stewart), Amanda Drew(CS Cath McClean), Silas Carson (Harry Bowman) and James Nelson-Joyce (Brian Reader).
New cast include: Tom Hughes (The English, Victoria), Stephen Campbell Moore (Masters of the Air, Criminal Record), Joshua McGuire (Cheaters, Blitz), Tamsin Topolski (The Madness, Slow Horses), Joshua Samuels (Saltburn, Sexy Beast), Rochelle Neil (Three Little Birds, The Nevers), Antonia Desplat (Shantaram, Modi), Lorna Brown (The Witcher, Vampire Academy), Thomas Coombes (Baby Reindeer, Boiling Point), Sean Teale (Doctor Odyssey, Rosaline) and Olivia Grant (Stardust, All the Money in the World).
International distribution is being handled by All3Media International.
