Now, the show is returning for season 2, with a predominantly new cast and fresh setting in Ireland.<\/p>\n
However, one thing that fans can expect to remain the same is the series\u2019s ability to surprise.<\/p>\n
Danielle Macdonald, who played Helen in the first run and is returning for season 2, spoke exclusively with RadioTimes.com<\/a>, along with Conor MacNeill, who joins the show in season 2 to play new character Ruairi.<\/p>\n Asked whether fans can expect as many twists and turns as in the first outing, MacNeill said: \u201cOne hundred per cent, yeah. I think it\u2019s just as chaotic and surprising and exciting as season 1.\u201d<\/p>\n Macdonald said: \u201cThe<\/span>re\u2019s a lot of new characters and the<\/span>re\u2019s a lot of twists and turns. I think Jack and Harry [Williams, show creators] are really good at setting up a bunch of things and the<\/span>n the<\/span>y unravel as the<\/span> series does. And yeah, I think it\u2019s very much the<\/span> same.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n MacNeill then added: \u201cThe<\/span>y do that amazing thing where the<\/span>re are one-off characters that come into this, like the<\/span>re were in season 1, that are just electric and brilliant and odd and exciting to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n Jamie Dornan is, of course, also returning as Elliot Stanley, who in this new season is in a relationship with Helen, and travels back to Ireland to uncover more about his mysterious past, which he forgot following an accident in the first season.<\/p> Dornan previously explained what convinced him to return for season 2 when speaking with RadioTimes.com<\/strong> and other press, saying that the location change was key<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cMy thinking was, \u2018Where are we going? Like, if we\u2019re doing this, where are we going?’\u201d Dornan explained. \u201cBecause it was a bit of an upheaval to go to Australia, and the idea of going again so soon after\u2026 I mean, [other cast members] don\u2019t have kids, I have three kids.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I took them all with me, they went to school there, it was a big thing family-wise to do that. And the idea of doing that again so soon wasn\u2019t hugely appealing.<\/p>\n \u201cBut luckily, Jack and Harry had plans to make it something closer to home, and I probably approved those plans pretty quickly.\u201d<\/p> ![\"Jamie](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/457528-97db35c.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"The")
