The drama will see the return of Lauren Lyle as the fearless young Scottish investigator Karen Pirie. Also reprising their roles are Chris Jenks (Sex Education), Zach Wyatt (The Witcher: Blood Origin), Steve John Shepherd (Harry Potter), and Rakhee Thakrar (Wonka).
Karen Pirie was one of the most watched new dramas on ITV in 2022, launching with 6.6m viewers and averaged 5.9m across each episode.
CEO and Executive Producer, Simon Heath at World Productions said:
“I’ve never been asked so often about when a character is returning to our screens. Well Karen is back again – as whip smart as ever with an intriguing new cold case from the 1980s. Drawn from Val’s terrific novel, Emer’s tremendous scripts have attracted an exciting new guest cast to join our established names. I can’t wait for everyone to see the finished show.”
