Channel 4 thriller Suspect<\/a> is returning for its second season, but this run will look dramatically different to the first, thanks to a major cast overhaul.<\/p>\n

While the first season was led by James Nesbitt, and featured the likes of Richard E Grant and Joely Richardson in major roles, season 2 sees just two cast members from season 1 returning, who are instead joined by a host of new stars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Suspect season 2 will be led by Anne-Marie Duff, who played Nesbitt\u2019s character\u2019s Danny\u2019s ex-wife Susannah in season 1, while Ben Miller will also be returning as Danny\u2019s old boss and detective superintendent, Richard.<\/p>\n

Miller has now opened up about returning to his role, and explained that fans can expect to find out \u201ca bit more\u201d about his character.<\/p>\n

Miller explained: \u201cThere\u2019s a bit more to it this time. In series 1, it was kind of hard to figure out exactly where Richard stood in all of this. In this series, it\u2019s become a little more developed \u2013 you find out a little bit more about him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew roughly what the character\u2019s journey would be throughout the entirety of the stories. And yeah, I really like it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cWhat I find fascinating about him as a character, is he\u2019s one of those people that you wouldn\u2019t spot in a crowd. You know, it\u2019s a kind of important thing, really \u2013 a certain kind of person who fades into the background.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s interesting. It\u2019s like putting a spotlight on the sort of person who wouldn\u2019t go anywhere near the spotlight, usually. And I find that aspect of my character interesting. For me, it\u2019s the underlying ambiguity \u2013 he\u2019s a character with his heart in the right place and yet he\u2019s a suspect<\/span> like all of the characters.\u201d<\/p>\n
