Season Two of “Innocent” began filming in September 2020 at locations in the Lake District and Ireland, with a premiere date yet to be confirmed, but likely to be sometime in 2021.

The new series of Innocent will features new characters, new story and an “extremely twisty plot”, focussing on the plight of a schoolteacher played by Katherine Kelly.

When the finale of ITV thriller Innocent aired in May 2018, it seemed a second series was highly unlikely.

But May 2019, Chris Lang confirmed that the ITV drama had officially been re-commissioned, adding: “And now if you’ll excuse me, Matt Arlidge and I need to get writing!”

Delighted to tell you that #Innocent is returning. New characters, new story, should shoot early next year. And now if you’ll excuse me, @mjarlidge and I need to get writing! #Innocent2 pic.twitter.com/nLbsTHrSD2
