Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, and Sarah Lancashire have packed away the Christmas jumpers and are set to return in spectacular form, joined by some season one favourites, and a brilliant new cast who bring wit, danger, and a few perfectly timed surprises. Season two is bigger, bolder &#8211; and just as delightfully unpredictable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anne Mensah (VP of Content, Netflix UK) says,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;To say we are overexcited about welcoming the <em>Black Doves<\/em> team back to Netflix would be an understatement. This is what happens when best in class writing meets best in class directing and extraordinary acting in a dark alley with guns and champagne. We couldn&#8217;t be more thrilled and we know the Black Doves fandom is waiting!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Helen (Keira Knightley) is still betraying her nation&#8217;s secrets to the covert organisation she serves: the Black Doves. But after the misadventures of last Christmas, and with her husband Wallace (Andrew Buchan), preparing to become Prime Minister, she is walking a more treacherous line than ever.<\/p>\n<p>As Helen&#8217;s enigmatic handler Mrs Reed (Sarah Lancashire) is ensnared in a ruthless plot to undermine her position in the Black Doves, Helen is reunited with her best friend Sam (Ben Whishaw). The once high-end triggerman is now reduced to lonely drinks in Soho bars and low-rate hits. As they search for answers, loyalties are weaponised, trust is shattered, and the fight to protect the people they love could cost everything. With all the explosive wit of Series 1, Helen and Sam&#8217;s mission leads them back to old friends and enemies, through the dark decisions and painful sacrifices of their pasts, and right to the heart of the Black Doves.<\/p>\n<p>Writer, Creator, and Executive Producer: Joe Barton (Giri\/Haji, The Lazarus Project)<\/p>\n<p>Production Company: SISTER (<em>Eric, This Is Going To Hurt, The Split) &amp; Noisy Bear<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Executive Producer for SISTER: Jane Featherstone (Eric, <em>This Is Going To Hurt<\/em>) and Chris Fry (<em>Coldwater, KAOS<\/em>), and Keira Knightley<\/p>\n<p>Executive Producer for Noisy Bear: Joe Barton (Amadeus, Giri\/Haji)<\/p>\n<p>Directors: Julian Farino (Amadeus, Giri\/Haji), Kieron Hawkes (Red Eye, Fortitude)<\/p>\n<p>Series Producer: Callum Devrell-Cameron (Lord of the Flies)<\/p>\n<p><strong>About SISTER: SISTER<\/strong> is an independent, global entertainment group on a mission to develop, produce, and invest in visionary creators.
