ITV announced that Martin Clunes crime drama Manhunt will return for a second season - a welcome, if somewhat surprising renewal given that the first season of the show aired back in early 2019.

That said, it was also one of ITV's most successful 2019 dramas; in fact, it was the highest-rated new drama on any U.K. channel that year. So, while it may seem strange for a Season 2 announcement to arrive over eighteen months later, these are strange times.

Clunes will reprise his role as the former London Metropolitan Police detective, DCI Colin Sutton, on whose cases this series is based. The first season followed the story of the hunt for serial killer Levi Bellfield, and how the murder of Amelie Delagrange on Twickenham Green in 2004 was eventually linked to the killing of Marsha McDonnell in 2003 and the abduction and murder of Milly Dowler as she traveled home from school in 2002.
