Granite Harbour season 2: release date, cast and everything we know

Granite Harbour season 2 is back with a new case, as we once again follow Lindo and Bart as they investigate a new series of crimes in the area.

Granite Harbour season 1 was a BBC iPlayer favourite with 7.6 million streams, so it's hardly surprising that it's back for another round.

Speaking about the series' return, Gavin Smith, Executive Producer, BBC Scotland said: "We’re delighted to have Granite Harbour return to BBC Scotland and can’t wait to see Aberdeen shining on screen next year. Lindo and Bart are a great double-act detective duo and we’re excited to see what crime they come against this time around. 

"The first series of Granite Harbour was an iPlayer success story for the North East and BBC Scotland will continue to develop and support scripted content representing different areas of Scotland."

Season 2 was written by Rob Fraser (Tin Star), Ciara Conway (Holby City) and Writers Guild of Great Britain award-winner Jillian Mannion (Death in Paradise).

Here's everything we know about Granite Harbour season 2...

Granite Harbour season 2 release date

The BBC has confirmed that Granite Harbour will premiere on the BBC Scotland channel on Thursday, May 2 at 10 pm.

The first episode will then arrive a day later for viewers in the UK, airing on BBC One on Friday, May 3 at 8 pm. Episodes will also be available on iPlayer.

Granite Harbour season 2 plot

Granite Harbour season 2 "will see Lindo and Bart called to the harbour to investigate the origins of a new crime wave sweeping the city", so we're dealing with an entirely new story this time around.

Season 1 followed Lindo after he'd completed his final tour with the Royal Military Police, and now dreams of being a detective at New Scotland Yard. However, he finds himself being sent to train as a Detective Constable in the North East of Scotland, where he must quickly adapt to his new life in the city, and the story continued from there.

Romario Simpson returns as RMP Sergeant Davis Lindo and Hannah Donaldson will reprise her role as DS Lara ‘Bart’ Bartlett.

Romario Simpson said: "I'm delighted to be returning to Scotland to film season 2 of Granite Harbour. I'm looking forward to reuniting with the original cast and collaborating with some new creatives. It’s another opportunity to learn more about Aberdeen, and take in some vital fresh air and open space." 

Meanwhile, Hannah Donaldson added: "Growing up as an aspiring young actress in the northeast of Scotland I didn’t often see the landscapes I recognized as home or hear the accents of my friends and family on screen. I’m very proud to be a small part of bringing Granite Harbour to life. 

"Series 2 is an excellent opportunity for us to delve further into Bart and Lindo’s relationship and the dynamics of the team. I can’t wait to get my necktie on and get back to work with the North East Murder Investigation Team."

So far, additional cast has not been confirmed but we will keep you updated when new names are revealed.
