BritBox Sets March Premiere for Season 2 of Prison Drama 'Time'
BritBox has announced that the second season of Jimmy McGovern's (Broken) award-winning prison drama Time will arrive on the streaming service in March, though its cast and story will look decidedly different than its first.
The first season of Time starred Sean Bean (Marriage) and Stephen Graham (Bodies) and followed the story of a man imprisoned for killing a pedestrian while driving drunk. A grim exploration of the reality of life in prison, the season had a definitive endpoint, which saw Bean's Mark Cobden character released and Graham's Officer McNally imprisoned for his part in a smuggling ring. So, it shouldn't come as a surprise to most viewers that Season 2 sees the series officially morph into an anthology as it shifts its focus to a new setting and group of characters.
Described as a moving and high-stakes portrayal of life inside a women's prison, Season 2 is told through the lens of three very different inmates. Season 2 stars Jodie Whittaker (Doctor Who), Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us), and Tamara Lawrance (The Long Song) as Orla O’Riordan, Kelsey Moran, and Abi Cochrane, three women who arrive at Carlingford Prison on the same day. Thrown together in an unfamiliar world notable only for its ever-present threat of violence, the three discover an unexpected sense of community together.
