'Black Ops' Season 2 Announces Impressive Guest Roster

Hulu's announcement that it was scooping up the wildly funny BBC breakout hit Black Ops came on the heels of the BBC confirming the show's return for a second season. Season 1 hasn't reached America yet (it's expected to debut in early spring); however, the series is already heading into production on the next round of episodes across the pond, with series creator Gbemisola Ikumelo (Roadkill) and co-star Hammed Animashaun (The Wheel of Time) returning to the world of MI-5.

Season 1 of Black Ops featured Ikumelo as Dom and Animashaun as Kay, a pair of police community support officers working in East London, who are recruited by the Military intelligence branch to help take down London's major criminal enterprises. The two agree that getting rid of drug-distributing gangs is best for their community, so they let themselves be talked into taking on the case.

However, neither of them is exactly the stuff undercover officers are made of, and their early attempts at convincing street-hardened hoodies they are on the level don't go well. That they survive is a miracle in and of itself, as is their Season 1 success; Season 2 will bring aboard new faces who convince them to go further. Even better, the show's hit status has landed the series several high-profile castings to take on those roles for the new season, though, regrettably, they're still stuck with Budget Idris Elba for now.
