It looks like Suranne Jones is heading underwater once again, with the BBC announcing that hit submarine drama Vigil<\/a> has been renewed for a second run.<\/p>\n

The first season, which launched in August 2021, saw Jones take on the role of DCI Amy Silva, who was sent on board the titular nuclear-powered vessel to investigate a suspicious death on board.<\/p>\n

That mystery appeared to be wrapped up at the end of the first run so it\u2019s not yet clear what will await Silva in the follow-up season, but it\u2019s sure to be another tense and thrilling tale \u2013 and will once again be set and filmed in Scotland.<\/p>\n

Writer Tom Edge, who has been confirmed to return for the second run, hinted last year that future runs of the series would likely take place in a different setting.<\/p>

\u201cWe have probably told as many of the stories as we would wish to tell on a submarine,\u201d he told RadioTimes.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201c[But] some of the characters that we have developed as we\u2019ve made it, they feel like characters that we\u2019d love to burrow into. So if there\u2019s a will to do it from everyone else then certainly I would be up for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear at this juncture which stars will return, but we\u2019d imagine that Jones would once again be joined by Rose Leslie as Kirsten Longacre, a fellow police officer and former love interest with whom Silva resumed a relationship at the end of the first season.<\/p>\n

The news of Vigil\u2019s return was confirmed by the BBC\u2019s Chief Content Officer Charlotte Moore in an interview in the current issue of Radio Times magazine<\/strong> \u2013 alongside announcements about the renewal of three further hit shows.<\/p>\n

Martin Freeman drama The Responder, Jamie Dornan thriller The Tourist, and the gripping prison drama Time will also all be returning for second seasons.<\/p>\n
