BLACK DOVES RENEWED FOR SECOND SERIES ON NETFLIX

Announced earlier this year, Netflix's hit drama Black Doves will return to Netflix for a second series. Launched earlier this month, the series stars Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw and Sarah Lancashire.

Set against the backdrop of London at Christmas, Black Doves is a sharp, action-filled and heartfelt story of friendship and sacrifice. Also guest cast in the first series are Adeel Akhtar, Finn Bennett, Luther Ford and Tracey Ullman.

The series follows Helen Webb (Keira Knightley), a quick-witted, down to earth, dedicated wife and mother — and professional spy. For 10 years, she’s been passing on her politician husband’s secrets to the shadowy organisation she works for: the Black Doves.

When her secret lover Jason (Andrew Koji) is assassinated, her spymaster, the enigmatic Reed (Sarah Lancashire) calls in Helen’s old friend, Sam Young (Ben Whishaw) to keep her safe.

Series 1 of Black Doves is available now on Netflix.
