We all knew the Boiling Point<\/a> series was going to grip us in a very similar way to the hit 2021 film<\/a>, but if the episodes have proven anything, it\u2019s that the TV show is wide open for a potential season 2.<\/p>\n The new series followed Carly<\/a> (Vinette Robinson) as she strived to make her northern-influenced Dalston restaurant, Point North, a success \u2013 with many of the Jones & Sons team behind her.<\/p>\n The series not only hones in on Carly as she seeks to create a working environment entirely different from Andy (Stephen Graham<\/a>), but we also get a window into her personal life and those of her trusted staff.<\/p>\n The episodes included everything from kitchen banter to heartbreak, incredible highs and very major lows for the Point North staff, with each centring on a selection of characters and their life beyond the kitchen walls.<\/p>\n But at just four episodes long, it is, of course, natural to wonder whether there\u2019s any room left in the tank for more. So, will Boiling Point be returning for season 2?<\/p>\n Read on for everything we know so far.<\/p> As of now, Boiling Point has not been confirmed<\/strong> as returning for a second season.<\/p>\n Seeing as the series has just aired on BBC One and the rest of the episodes will be available to watch weekly (or to stream in full on iPlayer), we\u2019re sure it\u2019ll be a case of the BBC assessing how popular the kitchen-based drama is with viewers.<\/p>\n We do know, though, that if it were up to director Philip Barantini or executive producer Stephen Graham, season 2 would definitely be on the cards.<\/p>\n Speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press ahead of the release of the series, Barantini said: \u201cI would love to do another series, and I\u2019m sure that everyone involved would, because there\u2019s so much to explore in that world.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s an ever-evolving, changing thing \u2013 people come and go, menus change. There\u2019s always scope to change things around and I would love to explore the characters more. I don\u2019t want to completely tie everything up in a bow, because that\u2019s not what I\u2019m about, but\u2026 it would be lovely.\u201d<\/p>\n Similarly, Graham hinted at there being so much more material to explore at a screening of the first episode.<\/p>\n He reflected on the character-driven nature of the series, saying: \u201cIn that same respect, there was a wonderful series, I felt, a few years ago called The Street, and what that did was it went into people\u2019s houses and you got to find out what was going on behind those closed doors.<\/p>\n \u201cWhereas we had a street within this kitchen, we have all these characters, and hopefully we get time to develop [them], we would be able to focus on each character and you\u2019ll get to see what\u2019s going on in each character\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n While the series may not have been renewed for season 2 just yet, the good news is that we know that filming for Boiling Point doesn\u2019t take an incredibly long time.<\/p>\n Filming for season 1 kicked off in January 2023, after the BBC adaptation was announced just months before, in October 2022. So, all in all, it took about a year from the writing to the release stage for the series.<\/p>\n That means that, if the series was to be given the green light soon, we could see season 2 on our screens by the end of 2024.<\/p>\n Well, things were left very open-ended for a lot of our characters, so we\u2019d be comfortable thinking that many of them would make a return to the world of Boiling Point.<\/p>\n New entrants Johnny (Stephen Odubola) and Bolton (Shaun Fagan) finally seemed to find their groove with one another by the end, so we\u2019re sure they\u2019ll be back for more \u2013 and we hope to get some further insight into Bolton\u2019s seemingly lonely life.<\/p>\n Similarly, there\u2019s plenty more to explore with other newbies Musa (Ahmed Malek) and Kit (Missy Haysom), as well as more familiar characters like Jake (Daniel Larkai) and Holly (Hannah Traylen), especially after her last episode encounter with Carly.<\/p>\n After their fiery episode 1 interaction, we\u2019re not sure how much we could be seeing of Freeman (Ray Panthaki) \u2013 but, because he\u2019s been such an integral character so far, we\u2019re sure he could make another appearance.<\/p>\n After his re-appearance in episode 4 at Jones & Sons, it seems like he\u2019s gone back to his old restaurant, but if Andy and Carly were to turn a leaf together for the sake of Point North, could Freeman make a return? Quite possibly.<\/p>\n As for characters we may not be seeing again, Taz Skylar\u2019s Billy seemed to be in a bad place with Robyn (\u00c1ine Rose Daly) at the end of episode 4, and seeing as Skylar is now one of the main characters in Netflix\u2019s hit One Piece<\/a> (which has been renewed for season 2), we\u2019re not sure if we\u2019ll be seeing much more of the bartender.<\/p>\n The full list of cast members we\u2019d expect to return for season 2 are as follows.<\/p>\nWill Boiling Point be returning for season 2?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
