Sophie Rundle Reveals Season 3 Prospects for “After The Flood”
The popular television series “After The Flood,” which airs on ITV, has garnered significant attention since its second season premiered in January. Viewers are eager to learn about the prospects for a third season, especially following the intense events of the latest episodes.
Sophie Rundle Discusses Season 3 of “After The Flood”
Sophie Rundle, who portrays the lead character Jo, has hinted at the possibility of another season. She emphasized the strong narrative community created by the writers, suggesting an ongoing potential for story development. Rundle expressed, “I think it works because the writers have built a community of people. There are always stories to tell.”
Key Events from Season 2
The second season concluded dramatically, culminating in a shocking twist. Here are some key points:
- The season featured Jo, now a detective, tackling significant challenges, including a complex crime involving the deaths of two men.
- Jo faced personal turmoil while dealing with her split from Pat and managing their child.
- The finale saw Pat’s tragic death at the hands of Phil Mackie, set against the backdrop of a place filled with personal memories.
What Might Season 3 Explore?
Should “After The Flood” return for a third season, it is expected to delve into the emotional fallout from Pat’s death. The series may focus on Jo’s character development as she navigates life without Pat.
The upcoming season could also introduce new mysteries following the resolution of previous crimes. While season two wrapped up the arcs surrounding Todd Drake and Xav Palmer, it revealed Alan Benson as the poisoner of the river. Thus, fresh criminal activities could be on the horizon for Jo and her team.
Cast Expectations for Season 3
If the show continues, several cast members are anticipated to return:
- Sophie Rundle as Jo
- Lorraine Ashbourne as Molly Marshall, Jo’s mother
- Philip Glenister as Jack Radcliffe
- Tripti Tripuraneni as Deepa Das
However, the return of Matt Stokoe, who played Pat Holman, seems unlikely due to his character’s death. Phil Mackie, portrayed by another actor, was arrested in the season finale, raising questions about his role in any potential courtroom drama.
Meanwhile, Jill Halfpenny’s character, DS Sam Bradley, could be an intriguing addition if storylines permit. Her previous investigation into Jo and Pat’s actions may lead to further narrative developments.
As viewers await news on Season 3, all episodes of “After The Flood” Seasons 1 and 2 are currently available on ITVX.
