Riviera season 2: First-look image sees Poppy Delevingne join Julia Stiles in luxurious south of France drama

Sky has revealed a first-look at the new series of hit drama Riviera as Poppy Delevingne and Will Arnett join the show.

The second series, which is set to air in May, heads back to the luxurious south of France where the residents are caught up in the imperfect web of wealth, lies and destruction.

Delevingne, older sister of model Cara, has joined the cast as the socialite daughter Daphne of Lady Cassandra, who is played by Juliet Stevenson.

The second series will kick off where the first left off as Georgina, played by Julia Stiles, must deal with her actions on the boat and focus on getting away with Adam’s murder.

But her massive task gets that little bit bigger when the Clios family meet the Elthams, an aristocratic English family hiding big secrets of their own.

Georgina will also reunite with her uncle Jeff, played by Arnett, as her troubled past comes over from America to haunt her.

Further complications arise as Georgina becomes entangled with mysterious figure Noah, played by Grégory Fitoussi.

The first series of the show, which was also available in its entirety to download as a boxset, was Sky's most successful original drama to date with a total audience of 2.3million per episode, and over 20million downloads and views.
