Netflix Slates Black Doves Season Two

Ambika Mod, Babou Ceesay, Sam Riley and Neve Campbell will join the cast of Black Doves season two for Netflix.

Mod, Ceesay, Riley and Campbell join returning cast members Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw and Sarah Lancashire, among others. Julian Farino and Kieron Hawkes are directing season two of the series, which is produced by SISTER and Noisy Bear.

More newcomers include Sylvia Hoeks, Goran Kostic and Samuel Barnett. Additional returning cast includes Andrew Buchan, Kathryn Hunter, Ella Lily Hyland, Gabrielle Creevy, Agnes O’Casey and Molly Chesworth.

Executive producers for SISTER are Jane Featherstone, Chris Fry and Knightley. The executive producer for Noisy Bear is Joe Barton. Callum Devrell-Cameron is the series producer. Filming is underway in and around London.

“To say we are overexcited about welcoming the Black Doves team back to Netflix would be an understatement,” said Anne Mensah, VP of content at Netflix UK. “This is what happens when best-in-class writing meets best-in-class directing and extraordinary acting in a dark alley with guns and champagne. We couldn’t be more thrilled, and we know the Black Doves fandom is waiting!”

“I couldn’t be more excited to delve back into the world of our murderous little spy family,” said Barton, writer and creator. “To have so many of our amazing cast returning and also being able to add some of my absolute favorite actors into the mix is such a great joy. Downing Street will never be the same again…”

“It’s a thrill to be back in Joe Barton’s world of love, lies and espionage, and to be partnering once again with Netflix on Black Doves,” said Featherstone and Fry. “Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw and Sarah Lancashire have packed away the Christmas jumpers and are set to return in spectacular form, joined by some season one favorites, and a brilliant new cast who bring wit, danger and a few perfectly timed surprises. Season two is bigger, bolder—and just as delightfully unpredictable.”
