Everyone’s in the line of suspicion in the exclusive new trailer.
The drama offerings just seem to be getting better the further we get into the year – and Channel 4’s Screw is another one we’re avidly looking forward to.
After a hit first season that saw viewers quickly won over by the chaotic, funny and dramatic goings-on within Long Marsh Prison, we’re set to get another instalment that promises all that and more.
This time around, a major rumour is doing the rounds in the prison about an undercover police officer in their midst – but who could it be?
Well, lucky for you Screw fans, RadioTimes.com has an exclusive first look at the second season, and it’s safe to say that the drama is only notching up after the tense season 1 finale.
In the trailer, many of the familiar season 1 faces return – like Rose (Jamie-Lee O’Donnell) and Leigh (Nina Sosanya) – but things at Long Marsh seem to be as hectic as ever.
It appears as though the team dynamic is especially close, as the trailer opens with Rose admitting that “this is my family, you lot”, but Leigh simply admits that they are “dysfunctional”.
As we see clips of angry inmates and the prison officers having to navigate a temper or two, it’s not long before we hear another inmate confess to knowing about an undercover police officer that’s been put on the wing.
Of course, with a new season comes a batch of new characters – but which one of them could be the undercover officer?
Line of Duty’s Lee Ingleby joins the season 2 cast as new prisoner Morgan, and in the trailer, he’s soon seen telling an officer that they should trust him – but could that be this team’s major downfall?
Watch the new trailer below.
It’s clear that the eye of suspicion will play a major part in season 2, but will that stop the officers at Long Marsh from making a fresh start?
As per the synopsis: “Complicated lives and rumours of undercover officers threaten to disturb order on C Wing, and the team of embattled prison officers will be tested to the limit. One way or another, the truth will come out…”
