PBS Distribution holds the North American rights, and ZDF Enterprises will distribute the series worldwide, in addition to season one.<\/p>\n<p>Channel 4&#8217;s head of drama, Caroline Hollick, said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted to welcome back this gripping crime thriller to the channel. Series one struck a chord with audiences, with over 12 million viewers tuned into the show on All 4\u2014from the edge of their seats. I can\u2019t wait for audiences to enter back into this world\u2014with more surprises, twists and turns in store, and I\u2019m delighted to have Lesley Sharp back at the helm playing the formidable Hannah Laing, along with the rest of our brilliant cast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sharp added: \u201cTo take part in a story that has a complex, ambivalent, older female character at the center of its beating heart is a privilege. I am excited and honored to be part of this collaborative, creative team. Viva Hannah! Viva Channel 4! Viva Eagle Eye! Here\u2019s to the next chapter of <em>Before We Die<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jo McGrath, executive producer and CCO of Eagle Eye Drama, commented: \u201c<em>Before We Die<\/em> proved to be an irresistible boxset sensation for U.K. audiences, and the second season will return with more fast-paced action sequences and plenty more dramatic plot twists. So very rarely at the center of crime thrillers, women this time around will be pulling all the strings, leading to a breathtaking climax to the series.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lesley Sharp-led crime thriller Before We Die has been recommissioned by Channel 4 in the U.K.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":16486,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[4123,233],"class_list":["post-16485","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-before-we-die","tag-channel-4","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
