Salt Marsh Season 2: Detective Bull Faces New Scottish Mystery

The acclaimed crime drama "Under Salt Marsh" is set for a second season, Sky announced. Rafe Spall will reprise his role as Detective Eric Bull in the upcoming six-episode chapter, which is currently untitled.

The new season will transport Detective Bull to a secluded Scottish mining community. This new environment, described as "sinking under the weight of its own secrets," will serve as the backdrop for a murder investigation. The case is expected to draw Bull closer to confronting truths about his personal history.

Filming for the second season is scheduled to commence in Scotland in 2027. The inaugural season, which premiered in January, starred Spall alongside Kelly Reilly, Naomi Yang, and Harry Lawtey. It garnered substantial viewership, marking it as the biggest Sky Original launch since "Day of the Jackal" and Sky's top entertainment title of the year with 2.5 million viewers over 28 days.

Creator Claire Oakley expressed her excitement for returning to a new part of the U.K. to explore a gripping mystery and buried secrets. She praised Spall's portrayal of Detective Bull and looked forward to continuing the successful partnership with Little Door Productions and Sky. Sky's Meghan Lyvers highlighted the series' connection with audiences and praised Oakley's storytelling abilities.
