The 'Annika' Season 2 Trailer Promises To Address The Season 1 Finale Twist

Unforgotten Season 5 might be arriving first on PBS in the fall of 2023, to introduce a new DCI now that Nicola Walker has left the series. But Walker's detecting skills won't be far behind. The debut of the second season of Walker's new series, Annika, will follow one week after Unforgotten's finale. The series returns with the core cast of fan favorites, including Annika's love interest, Dr. Jake Strathearn, and the man who doesn't know he's the father of her daughter Morgan, Michael McAndrews. The first trailer for Season 2 addresses that point.

Season 1 was quite good at seeding in the mystery of Morgan's paternity and did it so offhandedly that it was easy to forget it was a mystery to be solved. Annika dropped enough hints over the season: Morgan was born when she was a teenager, she and Michael at one point had a relationship during that same time period, and some sort of acrimonious breakup that left him resentful. Her return brought up those resentments, even though he's now happily married with (more) kids of his own. And yet, somehow, Annika announcing he was Morgan's father was a mic-drop ending to Season 1.

Season 2 will start directly after the events of the Season 1 finale. Check out the trailer.
