Scottish thriller Guilt will officially return to the Masterpiece this August, but Season 2 of the darkly comedic series will look slightly different than its first. Season 1 followed the story of Max (Mark Bonnar) and Jake (Jamie Silves), a pair of bumbling brothers who accidentally kill a man while driving home after a night of drinking and go to great lengths to cover it up.

Season 1 of Guilt had a reasonably definitive ending, which saw elder brother Max carted off to jail for attempting to cover up the accidental vehicular manslaughter he and his brother Jake committed. It feels a bit weird that the show is set to return for a second outing. What story is still to tell here? What is left for either of these characters to do?

In light of these questions, it's perhaps even more surprising that the series' second outing will focus solely on Bonnar's character and that original costar Silvas will not return for this run of episodes. (Though apparently, Silvas is slated to be back for Guilt's already announced third season. Go figure!
