The first season saw the star\u2019s retired detective Alex Ridley brought back into the fold in order to assist his former partner, Bronagh Waugh\u2019s DI Carol Farman, and the rest of the team with their murder enquiries.<\/p>\n
The show was based on real life retired detectives<\/a> who have been re-joining police forces in a consultancy role to help out in the face of increasingly over-stretched resources, which would surely mean there are more stories to tell given that wealth of inspiration to draw from.<\/p>\n Read on for everything you need to know about a potential second season of Ridley.<\/p>\n A second season of Ridley hasn\u2019t been confirmed just yet, but as the first has only just come to an end, there\u2019s still plenty of time for ITV to make an announcement.<\/p>\n And it certainly sounds like Dunbar would be up for coming back to play the titular detective once more. Speaking with RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press ahead of the first season, he noted that co-star Bronagh Waugh had \u201cjust had a new baby\u201d when they were filming season 1, saying that the circumstances meant the cast didn\u2019t get to socialise much in their downtime.<\/p>\n However, he added that \u201chopefully that might change if we get to do it again\u201d, which certainly suggests he is hoping to return to the series.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll keep this page updated as and when we have any more news or an announcement either way as to whether the show is coming back.<\/p>\n Without an official recommission announcement, it\u2019s hard to say when Ridley would be back on ITV. We\u2019d imagine that the earliest a second season could get turned around for is in one year\u2019s time, which could mean we see new episodes in the summer or autumn of 2023.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll keep this page updated with any news as we get it.<\/p>\n As the series hasn\u2019t yet been renewed, it\u2019s difficult to say just who in the cast would be coming back for Ridley season 2. We\u2019d certainly imagine that Adrian Dunbar, Bronagh Waugh, Terence Maynard and George Bukhari would all be back as their respective characters, but that has not yet been confirmed.<\/p>\n Here was the core cast list for season 1<\/a>, any of whom could be back for more in season 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n There isn\u2019t a trailer for Ridley season 2 just yet, but we\u2019ll keep this page updated as and when any new footage is released. For now, you can rewatch the trailer for season 1 right here.<\/p>\n Brand new drama Ridley ????Will there be a second season of Ridley?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
