The second series will see Celine Buckens and Tom Mison reprise their roles of Tasha and Jack, with Jordan Stephens also returning to play Sam while Katie McGrath joins the cast in the lead role of Jen.
The second series starts three years after the conclusion of series one, with Tasha now hiding in Cyprus with her daughter Emily, while Jen has moved on and is preparing to walk down the aisle for a second time.
Living under false identities, Tasha has started a new life for herself and Emily. However, Tasha is forced to abandon her fresh start when she learns that Jack has been released from prison early – having only served a year of his sentence. Jack appears to be a changed man, grieving the death of his daughter and searching for redemption from a newly engaged Jen.

Sebastian Cardwell, Deputy Chief Content Officer at Paramount UK said: "I am thrilled to be teaming up with Clapperboard, Blackbox Media and Night Train again for a second series of The Ex-Wife. The first series was a huge success and this time we promise viewers even more twists and turns! I can’t wait to see this incredible cast bring the next instalment of this drama to life."
Executive Producer and MD for co-producer Clapperboard Studios Mike Benson added: "Along with our co-pro partners Blackbox and Night Train, we were delighted with the reaction to Series 1 of The Ex-Wife. Series 2 builds on the intrigue and emotional complexity which underpins the characters and plot – but also takes us somewhere unexpected and surprising...
"With the wonderful Celine, Tom and Jordan returning – and the fantastic Katie McGrath joining the cast – we’re looking forward to seeing how they, and our brilliant production team, tackle the story."
The Ex-Wife 2 is a 4x60' co-production between Clapperboard Studios, Blackbox Multimedia and Night Train Media.
