This new season will see Amy investigating the cause of multiple unexplained fatalities, while entering the world of drone warfare. It will also follow up on the relationship between Amy and her colleague and partner Kirsten Longacre, played by Rose Leslie, who in the new season is expecting a baby.<\/p>\n
Jones spoke about following on this relationship in season 2 at a Q&A for the show, saying: \u201cWhat I found about the development of our relationship is these are two women that have decided to have a family together, they already have a daughter, a child on the way, but they\u2019re also very defined by their work, by their careers.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo they\u2019re gonna start butting heads, when one is trying to look after the other, the other wants to do everything. And I think it brought an element of fun, but actually a seriousness of \u2018ooo, how does that change the relationship dynamic?\u2019, which was really interesting for us. And it took it somewhere else.\u201d<\/p>
Meanwhile, Leslie added: \u201cWith our relationship, that\u2019s a wonderful thing to be able to expand and see where they go and how they confront the challenges that they are confronted with, and, as a result, it\u2019s very rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n
The pair also spoke about playing characters who are LGBTQ+, with Jones speaking about not only playing Amy, but also Anne Lister in Gentleman Jack.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s the first thing.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd obviously, through Gentleman Jack, I found a community that was so open and wonderful and receptive and willing to share their experiences with me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was like, \u2018Wow, this can be another part of a job, you can really connect on a whole other level\u2019. So I think by doing that particular job, and then this one, I have been very welcomed as an ally and I take it very seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n

They are kind and generous to one another, and that\u2019s a beautiful thing.\u201d<\/p> \n
