Sam recently opened up about the new series, remarking that season two will see ‘an even stronger story’ than the first, reports Radio Times.

‘It is very relatable. Sometimes very dark, sometimes funny. But always compelling. Great characters, terrific performances. And you simply can’t stop watching.’x

It comes after Sam gave fans an update on his heath last month after being diagnosed with stage-three blood cancer.
The Jurassic Park star says he feels ‘great to be alive’ after undergoing gruelling treatment while filming his series The Twelve in 2022.

‘But other than that, it’s great to be alive and working and in beautiful places, like York.’
