The Durrells in Corfu Season 2 Will Air on Masterpiece This Fall
Good news for fans of The Durrells in Corfu! The heartwarming family drama officially has a US airdate for its second season! Season 2 will begin this Fall on Masterpiece, starting Sunday, October 15 at 8pm. It will be paired with the third season of popular period drama Poldark, airing that same month, making for a full night of drama all-around.
The Durrells, based on Gerald Durrell’s trilogy of memoirs, follows the family’s adventures in Corfu in the mid-1930s. Matriarch Louisa Durrell, in an attempt to avoid financial problems, uproots her four unruly ‘children’ Larry, Leslie, Margo and Gerry, from Bournemouth to start a new life on the beautiful island. Keeley Hawes stars as Louisa alongside her fictional brood played by Josh O’Connor (Larry), Callum Woodhouse (Leslie), Daisy Waterstone (Margo) and Milo Parker (Gerry).
According to the ITV website, here’s a little of what we can expect to see in the new season. Larry will continue to pursue his passion for writing, despite a new romance getting in the way. Leslie explores his entrepreneurial side, while Margo remains boy crazy and makes a play for a thoroughly unsuitable person. As for Gerry, well, he still prefers animals to people, and is overjoyed when he discovers an otter living near their home.
