More Suspects Series 2 airdate Speculation....

Suspects is definitely not coming in the first 2 weeks of August, tv schedules show.

According to the rationale in my last post, only the week beginning 18 Aug would work for all he other ates to fit in, but the dvd date could be changed... and Justine Barker was only working on the soundtrack this week....

this article from Digital Spy mentions "late August, exact TX to be confirmed" which tells us nothing new except our speculation is on the right track!

With all this in mind.. I am reckoning on that S2 trailer very soon...

and Suspects S2 will follow shortly behind!

This article from TVRage cannot be correct surely?!

"the second series of four episodes will be airing over two weeks this August"?

'Suspects' Season 2 Airdate Confirmed

So apparently they've gotten Suspects confused with SherlocK?  4 episodes is not a season.

I agree Jane!  I will be severely disappointed if there are only 4eps in s2!!

I can kinda understand having the 2 halves of a 'special' being broadcast in one week over 2 consecutive nights - it's not a particularly unusual thing to happen.  But this is just baffling and bemusing!  It seems like every article is giving a different version of what s2 is going to be.

It almost makes me start doubting if it will even start airing in August!!

Molonians, we have an air date and a lovely new photo of Jack, with thanks to Channel 5!

SUSPECTS SERIES 2: UK AIR DATE 20 – 21 AUGUST FOR 2-PART SPECIAL PREMIERE

Jack is back!

After months of excited anticipation, we are finally able to reveal the UK airdate for SuspectsSeries 2 – the critically acclaimed crime drama will premiere with an exciting 2-part specialairing 10 pm Wednesday 20 August and 10pm Thursday 21 August on Channel 5.

The new series kicks off with a gripping new case for DS Jack Weston (Damien), DI Martha Bellamy (Fay Ripley) and DC Charlie Steele (Claire-Hope Ashitey) and introduces a host of new suspects, played by top UK soap and drama talent including Charlie Brooks (Eastenders, I’m A Celebrity), Dominic Power (Emmerdale, The Bill), Claire Cooper (Hollyoaks), Katie Jarvis (Fish Tank) and Luke Newberry (In The Flesh).

Check out the synopsis below.

This two part special opens with barrister Jonathan Moxton found naked, tied up and covered in blood – it looks like a sex game has gone very wrong indeed. DI Martha Bellamy (Fay Ripley) and her team, DS Jack Weston (Damien Molony) and DC Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Steele (Clare-Hope Ashitey) soon suspect that it was actually a premeditated attack. Who hit Jonathan with a hammer? And why is DS Jack Weston so rattled by this case?

Soon falling under suspicion are Jonathan’s dutiful and respectable wife, Tanya Moxton (Charlie Brooks), paranoid schizophrenic Saul Hammond (Dominic Power) and Saul’s appropriate adult Sadie Burns (Katie Jarvis). Uncovering more of Jonathan’s secrets leads the team to Nate Turner (Luke Newberry). When a second man is found battered with a hammer, Martha, Jack and Charlie are horrified – this time the attack is fatal. Is Saul Hammond – whom they let out on bail – responsible for both attacks? As the investigation unfolds, drug-user Carol Collins (Claire Cooper) also comes under the spotlight. The team must catch this serial offender before they strike again.

First glimpses of series 2 footage have also debuted in a ‘New Drama’ trailer for the channel, alongside other upcoming shows.

Suspects is produced by Newman Street (part of FremantleMedia UK) for Channel 5.

So, I'm going to guess that they are keeping it to #WestonWednesday  

Further extrapolation... if the S1 & S2 DVD release date of Sept 29th is still correct, they have 6 Wednesdays they can air episodes right up until that release date.  With the bonus 2-parter, that could be up to 7 episodes.  However, I'm not sure they would do that many since it would leave only 5 for S3.  So my guess is still 6 for S2 (the two-parter plus 5 more) and 6 for S3.

Considering this is what I was expecting it's still excellent news! A double dose of damo only 2 weeks away!  That picture really does urm.....whet the appetite too.......

And I optimistically agree entirely with whimsy's assessment for the rest of the series.

Haha Rosie....I hope your dream comes true!!

It looks like series 2 is going to be just the 2 specials, then.......which probably does mean only 2 weeks!  And I might actually be away on holiday for both of them - which is frustrating to say the least!

I guess that means that's all they filmed in June - 4eps in 5 weeks does sound more realistic (but is still pretty good going!) - and s3 will be the remaining 5 unaired eps which were recorded for s1.

Damien is doing ADR (Additional Dialogue Recording) on Suspects Series 2 today....

what a tease!
