Red Eye may have only just premiered on television, but many thriller fans have already watched ahead via streaming service ITVX \u2013 and are now wondering what comes next.<\/p>\n
The season finale provides a satisfying ending<\/a> to the show\u2019s core mystery, but there are likely questions about whether these characters could return for another suspenseful outing.<\/p>\n RadioTimes.com<\/a> spoke to co-stars Jing Lusi and Richard Armitage about their thoughts on a possible Red Eye<\/a> season 2, which should hopefully tide fans over until ITV comes to its official decision.<\/p>\n Read on for everything we know so far.<\/p>\n ITV is yet to announce whether Red Eye will return for a second season, with the decision likely to depend primarily on how many people tune in over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n However, in interviews with RadioTimes.com<\/strong>, stars Jing Lusi, Lesley Sharp and Richard Armitage all expressed interest in returning for a follow-up \u2013 if a compelling idea can be found.<\/p>\n Lusi said: \u201cI love Hana. I love the world that Pete and Julie have created and that Kieran brought to life and the very talented crew.<\/p>\n \u201cFor me, I always think story first. I think, if there is a story to be told, I would absolutely love to do it. Behind a story, I\u2019m like, \u2018Why? Why are we telling this?\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s great to make something entertaining, but\u2026 for me, character is everything. And if that\u2019s not there, and there isn\u2019t a story worth telling and a journey worth taking the character or the audience on, let\u2019s not do it.<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s just keep it amazing for what it was. So I\u2019m very open to it. I think there is definitely more story to tell, but it has to be the right story.\u201d<\/p> If Red Eye were to be renewed for season 2, it\u2019s quite possible we could revisit some of the characters from the original series.<\/p>\n The major players in the first outing included DC Hana Li (Lusi), her journalist sister Jess (Jemma Moore), MI5 director Madeline Delaney (Lesley Sharp) and accused Dr Matthew Nolan (Armitage).<\/p>\n Many of the other characters in season 1 met a grim fate aboard that nightmare flight from London to China, so it\u2019s unlikely that they would reprise their roles. Then again, there\u2019s always flashbacks.<\/p>\n Obviously, we can only speculate at this stage on what a Red Eye season 2 could look like, but co-star Armitage had an idea for what his character\u2019s next chapter could have in store.<\/p>\n He told RadioTimes.com<\/strong>: \u201cIf I were writing\u2026 and thinking, \u2018So how could I activate my central character again?\u2019 Because Matthew, in season 1, is very much the prisoner and is trying to prove his innocence, I would like to see him utilised \u2013 perhaps by the British government.<\/p>\n \u201c[He\u2019s] activated by the British government because of where he\u2019s been and what he knows. They could send him back to Beijing to do something.\u201d<\/p>\n The final scene of Red Eye also hinted at Dr Nolan having romantic feelings towards Hana, which could potentially be explored further if both characters were brought back in a follow-up.<\/p>\n Co-star Lesley Sharp added: \u201cI think what Peter [A Dowling] has created with this season of Red Eye is fantastically complete in and of itself, but I think what he\u2019s also managed to do is set up very compelling characters.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd is there a possibility that you could find a crucible that held all of them again to tell another story? I think that\u2019s for him. But if Pete decided that he was going to go down that lane again, I\u2019d be very happy to step into Madeline Delaney\u2019s Manolo Blahniks and trot up and down the corridors of MI5.\u201d<\/p>\n Alas, there\u2019s no footage to share right now<\/strong> \u2013 the show hasn\u2019t even been renewed yet!
