BBC One thriller The Pact will be returning very soon with a brand new story and cast for season 2.<\/p>\n

Set in Wales, the murder mystery series from creator Pete McTighe will arrive on BBC One on Monday, 24th October<\/strong> at 9pm.<\/p>\n

The six-parter will tell a suspenseful and emotional story featuring the return of Bafta-winning actress Rakie Ayola, who takes centre stage alongside serving as executive producer.<\/p>\n

Season 2 will follow Ayola\u2019s social worker Christine and her family whose loyalties are tested when they\u2019re confronted by a stranger. Christine\u2019s family, oldest son Will (Lloyd Everitt), youngest son Jamie (Aaron Anthony) and daughter Megan (Mali Ann Rees), are trying to regain a sense of normality in their lives following the recent tragic death of their brother Liam.<\/p>\n

BBC\u2019s synopsis reads: \u201cAs they look forward to Megan\u2019s wedding, the family have their lives turned upside down when a stranger, Connor (Jordan Wilks), arrives in town claiming a connection that nobody could have imagined. As buried secrets come to light, they must consider who they are and grapple with morality and divided loyalty. As their lives spiral out of control, a terrible pact may be all that can save them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cast also includes Elizabeth Berrington (The Nevers), Lisa Palfrey (Line of Duty), Christian Patterson (In My Skin), Matthew Gravelle (Keeping Faith), Aaron Anthony (Behind Her Eyes) and Jacob Ifan (A Discovery of Witches).<\/p>\n

With any hit show, fans always want more and Ayola previously teased the potential for additional seasons of the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you think about it, you could have a series where the world blows up and there\u2019s nothing left except a blade of grass and if someone wanted to get 17 years out of it, they could,\u201d she told Digital Spy<\/a>, before adding, \u201cBut as it is\u2026 it\u2019s so beautifully formed. So you never know. We shouldn\u2019t jinx it. These six episodes are worth investing in because they are fantastic and there really is a story that goes from A to Z.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teasingly, Rakie also stated, \u201cWe might be here in 20 years talking about it. Who knows?\u201d<\/p>\n

Returning star and executive producer Rakie Ayola said in a statement: \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be working again with Little Door and BBC Wales leading this talented cast to bring Pete\u2019s wonderfully mysterious story to life.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an Exec Producer on this series, it\u2019s hugely important to me to see the wealth of opportunity this production is offering both to established talent and those new to the industry both behind and in front of camera.\u201d<\/p>\n
