Showtrial has successfully captured the imagination of a number of BBC One viewers, many of whom will be wondering whether the show will expand beyond its initial five episode run.<\/p>\n
Several questions were left unanswered by the Showtrial ending<\/a>, but it\u2019s uncertain whether this is an artistic decision from writer Ben Richards or an attempt to lay the groundwork for a follow-up.<\/p>\n The first series focused on the murder of a university student in Bristol, where the entitled daughter of a wealthy property developer and the son of a prolific MP were the prime suspects.<\/p>\n However, if the BBC decides to order future episodes of Showtrial, they could cover an entirely new case rather than return to the existing members of the Showtrial cast<\/a>.<\/p>\n Read on for everything we know so far about a possible return for BBC One\u2019s Showtrial.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no word yet from the BBC on whether Showtrial will return for a second season, but star Tracy Ifeachor seemed open to the prospect in a conversation held prior to the series premiere.<\/p>\n \u201cI really don\u2019t know, but what I would say is, you know, Cleo Roberts is a solicitor, and you know, she\u2019s just gonna keep going,\u201d she told\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press. \u201cTalitha\u2019s life is going to keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n We\u2019ll update this page with more information on Showtrial\u2019s fate as it comes in.<\/p> The first series of Showtrial featured Tracy Ifeachor and Celine Buckens in the lead roles, portraying sharp solicitor Cleo Roberts and her challenging client Talitha Campbell.<\/p>\n If Showtrial were to be renewed for a second season, there is potential for them both to return, but there\u2019s also the possibility that Roberts could take on a whole new case unconnected to the one which rebuilt her credibility.<\/p>\n If series two were to take the anthology route, we may not see any more of the supporting cast, which featured Sinead Keenan (DI Paula Cassidy), Kerr Logan (James Thornley), James Frain (Damian Campbell), Joseph Payne (Dhillon Harwood) and Lolita Chakrabarti (Meera Harwood).<\/p>\n As a second season of Showtrial remains hypothetical for the time being, there are no sure directions for where the story could go next \u2013 and your ideas may vary depending on how you interpret the ending.<\/p>\n Indeed, writer Ben Richards decided not to reveal who the real killer is<\/a>, leaving it up to us to decide whether it was Talitha, Dhillon, or the two of them working together.<\/p>\nShowtrial season 2: Will the BBC drama return?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
