THE GOLD RETURNS TO BBC ONE LATER THIS YEAR FOR SECOND SERIES

 IF YOU MISSED IT

Hit BBC drama The Gold will return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer later this year for a second series. The critically-acclaimed factual drama is inspired by the true story of the 1983 Brink’s-Mat robbery, and the decades-long chain of events that followed.

Series one of The Gold launched on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in 2023 to 8.7 million viewers for its first episode, placing it in the UK’s top five most watched new dramas of the year so far across all platforms and channels.

Returning cast for The Gold series two includes: Hugh Bonneville (Brian Boyce), Charlotte Spencer (Nicki Jennings), Emun Elliott (Tony Brightwell), Tom Cullen (John Palmer), Stefanie Martini (Marnie Palmer) and Sam Spruell (Charlie Miller).

Following the conviction of some of those involved in the theft and handling of the Brink’s-Mat gold, the police (Hugh Bonneville, Charlotte Spencer, Emun Elliot) realised that those criminals only ever had half of it. Series two explores what happened to the other half, and the criminal fortune it created.

As the police investigation continues, it becomes a tense, high-stakes journey into international money laundering and organised crime, while the police embark on dramatic manhunts as they desperately try to solve the longest and most expensive investigation in the history of the Metropolitan Police.

Writer and Executive Producer, Neil Forsyth says: "I am delighted that we have been given the opportunity to tell the rest of the Brink's-Mat story, which sees the consequences of the robbery and its aftermath grow only more surprising, dramatic and far-reaching, both in Britain and around the world."

The Gold: Series 2 (6x60’) will air on BBC One and iPlayer.
