*Warning: spoilers ahead for Ridley Road season one*<\/strong><\/p>\n

BBC One period drama Ridley Road was only recently released as a box set, but fans are already wondering whether the series will be renewed for a second season.<\/p>\n

The series focuses on Vivien Epstein, a young Jewish woman who travels to London in search of an elusive old flame, Jack Morris. By the end of episode one, she\u2019s been sent undercover inside a fascist organisation, where she reunites with Jack (also undercover).<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile Rory Kinnear (Years and Years) co-starred in the drama as real-life fascist Colin Jordan, who led the National Socialist Movement (NSM), a neo-Nazi group.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ridley Road\u2019s Aggi O\u2019Casey and Tom Varey<\/a> discussed the\u00a0worrying parallels between the Swinging Sixties and now in an exclusive Big RT Interview<\/a> interview with RadioTimes.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The four-part drama, which was particularly timely following the recent <\/span>rise of antisemitism<\/span><\/a>, was based on Jo Bloom\u2019s novel<\/a> of the same name. However, just like the book, the TV series ended with our two lovers reuniting.<\/p>\n

Read on for everything you need to know about whether there\u2019ll be a second season of Ridley Road.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no information about whether Ridley Road will return for a second season, but if it did, we\u2019d expect to see the majority of the Ridley Road cast<\/a><\/span>\u00a0return.<\/p>\n

Cast members would likely include Agnes O\u2019Casey, Tom Varey, and Rory Kinnear as real-life fascist Colin Jordan, who led the NSM and was a prominent far-right voice until his death in 2009.<\/p>\n
