Filming Begins on 'The Responder' Season 2
Filming has officially begun on the second season of buzzy crime procedural The Responder, a story about the emotional extremes of life on the front line of British policing and an officer who found himself demoted, demoralized, and drawn to the edge of a dark world of corruption. The series also nabbed six BAFTA nominations and racked up over 9.5 million viewers for its 2022 premiere, making it one of the year’s most successful dramas. Where it will go in its second outing is anyone’s guess, but people are looking forward to finding out.
The Responder stars Martin Freeman (Sherlock) as troubled Liverpool police night officer Chris Carson, who found himself struggling to hold his life (and mental health) together after getting tangled up with the city’s criminal underworld. The first season saw him make several dark, unethical decisions, and in its second, it sounds like he’ll try and pick up the pieces.
Season 2 picks up six months after the events of the series’ first installment, as Chris attempts to rebuild his life and relationships. But the combination of trying to be a better police officer, a better person, and a better father all while dealing with the trauma inherent in his chosen line of work as a night response officer...well, it’s a lot. Chris needs a day job. But is he prepared to risk everything to get one?
