‘The Crow Girl’s Season 2 Images Bring Out The Bodies
'The Crow Girl' officially returns for Season 2 with first images and a U.K. release date.
The Crow Girl was one of the last shows we got to cover before our hiatus hit in October 2025, which is partly why we missed the Season 2 renewal announcement. Based on Erik Axl Sund’s* best-selling trilogy of novels, The Crow Girl is another Nordic Noir novel that’s been reset in the northern parts of the U.K. The novel follows DCI Jeanette Kilburn and eminent psychotherapist Dr. Sophia Craven as they join forces to hunt the killer of young men and into a dangerous world of historic abuse and murder.
(*“Erik Axl Sund” is the nom de plume used by Swedish writing duo Håkan Axlander Sundquist and Jerker Eriksson.)
Longtime favorite Eve Myles stars in the series as DCI Jeanette Kilburn, joined by Dougray Scott (Vigil) as her partner-in-crime-solving, DI Lou Stanley. However, Stanley was not one of the characters who made it to the end of Season 1 – to say anything more about what happens to the character would be a massive spoiler – so it’s not a surprise that of the two leads, only Myles is back for Season 2.
Season 2 continues covering the trilogy, delving into the second novel of the Victoria Bergman Trilogy, Nukkemestari, which translates roughly to “Puppet Master.”
Here’s the Season 2 synopsis:
Picking up the morning after the events of Season 1, Bristol Police Detective Jeanette Kilburn has ended her marriage and found herself in bed with enigmatic psychologist D. Sophia Craven. Jeanette’s hunt for the killers of young male asylum seekers takes a shocking new turn when a mummified body discovered in a church wall and a body in a freezer reveal a chilling connection. As Jeanette digs deeper, Sophia begins to suspect Victoria Burkeman, her mysterious and unstable former patient who has previously been convicted for multiple murders, could be responsible. With the case growing darker, Sophia suspects Victoria is more familiar than she thought, and Jeanette must face the terrifying truth: the killer may be closer than she ever imagined.
