BBC's Guilt season 2 to air 'soon' as writer Neil Forsyth teases trailer

The moment you've been waiting for is here.

Yesterday fans were delighted to see writer Neil Forsyth tease the trailer for season 2 of the Bafta-award winning crime drama, Guilt.

Back in January, several city centre roads were closed for filming - and soon, we will finally be able to see our beloved city on the screens.

If you don't know, the BBC drama follows the story of two disparate Scottish brothers Max (Mark Bonnar) and Jake (Jamie Sives) who while driving home from a wedding, accidentally run over and kill an old man on a darkened street. After making the decision to cover their tracks, the brothers appear to get away with their crime.

However, as neighbours and relatives of the dead man begin to suspect his death wasn’t as innocent as it first appeared, the brothers find their lives rapidly falling apart and their actions begin to catch up with them.

Their desperate attempts to hide their guilt (hence the name) lead them further into a world where everyone seems to have a hidden agenda where they can't trust anyone - including each other.

Season two picks up two years after the finale and fun fact - despite the show being filmed in Glasgow, it's actually set in Edinburgh.

Filming for the show in 2019 saw Glasgow's Merchant City similarly transformed (SWNS)

A store front was created on the corner of Bell Street and Albion Street in the Merchant City whilst a record store, Leith Beats, was covered in retro posters and music memorabilia.

The BBC's four-part "pitch-black, contemporary thriller" will also have a new cast for the second season including Sara Vickers, Phyllis Logan, Stuart Bowman and Ian Pirie who join returning cast Mark Bonnar, Jamie Sives and Emun Elliot.

Guilt will air on both BBC Two and BBC Scotland in Autumn 2021 although a date has yet to be announced.
