Production Begins on The A Word Season Two

Production has kicked off on the second season of The A Word, which will premiere on SundanceTV this fall.

The critically acclaimed family drama from Keshet International is filming in the Lake District and at Manchester’s Space Project in the U.K. The upcoming season picks up two years after season one’s conclusion, with Joe, who is now 7, beginning to discover that he doesn’t always fit in. The first season of the Fifty Fathoms and Keshet UK co-production for BBC One debuted in 2016 in both the U.K. and U.S.

Writer Peter Bowker said, “‘Autistic’ is a word Joe has heard but can’t yet understand. ‘Different’ is what he feels, and fears it might be something bad. It’s up to the whole family to help Joe make sense of who he is and his place in the world. But to do that, they must first be honest about themselves.”
