Anne-Marie Duff is On a Mission in 'Suspect' Season 2's First Look

One of the few Eagle Eye Drama series that isn't on PBS, Suspect, the remake of the Danish hit Forhøret (Face to Face), is preparing to return for a second season. The first season, which debuted on BritBox at the end of 2022, starred James Nesbitt (Bloodlands) as DS Danny Frater, the British version of Face to Face's Bjørn Rasmussen, who walks into the morgue one day to meet the body for his latest murder case, only to discover it's his own daughter, from who he was estranged. The series followed the Danish show to the letter, with Frater interviewing one suspect per episode to find the truth.

Most Eagle Eye series tend to start straying from the material to become their own story if they make it to a second season. (See, for example, the Ben Miller starring Professor T.) However, in the case of Suspect, it seems the show is staying largely faithful to the material, with the second season switching focus from Danny to his ex-wife, Dr. Susannah Newman, played by Anne-Marie Duff (Sex Education), who picks up the investigation with eight suspects of her own.

Some of these suspects are new characters viewers will be meeting for the first time, based on characters from Face to Face. Some are new characters invented from whole cloth. But at least one suspect is a carryover from Season 1, rejoining Duff for the new set of episodes.
