Suranne Jones drops big Vigil series 2 storyline hint
Suranne Jones has dropped a hint about what fans can expect from the second series of Vigil.
The first series of the BBC police procedural drama took place on the eponymous submarine, but lead actor Jones revealed on The Graham Norton Show that the setting for the follow-up series would be different.
“There will be another [series]” she said. “But it won’t be with submarines. She [Jones’ character, Amy Silva] kept getting locked in places and everybody kept dying, so it will take place somewhere else.”
With the show taking place in confined spaces, Jones also spoke about the challenges she faced during filming, noting that one scene inside a missile tube was particularly “scary.”
“That was [scary] yeah. I was submerged in the tube,” she revealed. “I think you forget that you can, at any moment, say ‘Can I get out?’ You get so into it – that’s why stunt people should do stunts and actors shouldn’t.”
Vigil creator and writer Tom Edge previously hinted that the next series would have a change of scenery, telling the RadioTimes: “We have probably told as many of the stories as we would wish to tell on a submarine.
“[But] some of the characters that we have developed as we've made it, they feel like characters that we'd love to burrow into. So if there's a will to do it from everyone else then certainly I would be up for it.”
Jones, who has also starred in Doctor Foster and Gentleman Jack, was recently announced to be starring in Maryland alongside Eve Best. The ITVX drama will see the pair play sisters who “have been driven apart by complex family dynamics, but they will soon be drawn back together following the discovery of a body on the Isle of Man.”
Vigil is available now on BBC iPlayer.
