Sky Original drama Temple<\/a> is returning for its second season this week, and star Daniel Mays has teased another very exciting series \u2013 which includes an \u201camazing climax\u201d.<\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a> back in August, Mays revealed he had already seen all the completed episodes and said he was \u201cabsolutely buzzing\u201d for the new run to begin.<\/p>\n \u201cI just love Temple as a show because it\u2019s one of those things that you literally can\u2019t sort of categorise,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd the great thing about season two is that obviously we ended [season one] on this amazing cliffhanger \u2013 and what transpires with that is it\u2019s forcing the second series to kind of come out of the bunker and it\u2019s much more sort of street level. \u201d<\/p> The first series focused on surgeon Daniel Milton (Mark Strong) who set up an illicit clinic in the tunnels below the Temple tube station, with the help of Mays\u2019 character Lee, in order to find a cure for his ill wife.<\/p>\n Throughout the course of the series, Milton became embroiled in a criminal underworld and had to make some very tough decisions \u2013 and it looks like he might end up regretting some of his earlier actions in the new run.<\/p>\n \u201cAll the stuff that he got up to in that first series, I would say that the second series is the consequences of those actions,\u201d Mays explained.<\/p>\n \u201cIn many respects, he was sort of playing God, wasn\u2019t he? Taking people\u2019s kidneys out \u2013 obviously to save his own wife \u2013 but all of those decisions that he made in the first series will come back to haunt him in season two. And it\u2019s a much more dark trajectory for Daniel Milton.\u201d<\/p>\n One of the things that makes the second series a rather different proposition than the first is that, whereas the initial run was based on the Norwegian series Valkyrien, this time around the story is wholly original \u2013 and Mays reckons that the new directions it goes in will \u201creally surprise a lot of people\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cWe had to kind of keep to the constraints of Valkyrien [in the first series],\u201d he said. \u201cAnd this time around the blinkers are off.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve got some amazing additions in terms of cast. We\u2019ve got Rhys Ifans in it, who\u2019s playing a new character, Michael Smiley is in it, there are some wonderful new additions. So that\u2019s the beauty of the second series is that we just had free rein with it.<\/p>\n \u201cThey got all the writers room together and, I mean, my biggest compliment is that you\u2019re completely on the edge of your seat in terms of what\u2019s going to happen next. I love it because it\u2019s like a tapestry of storylines that just go off in different directions. And then they fuse and come together for this amazing climax again.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll be fascinated to know what people think of the ending of Temple, because it kind of it sort of leaves it open to go any which way.\u201d<\/p>\n Temple returns to Sky Max on Thursday 28th October 2021.\u00a0<\/strong>Looking for something else to watch?
