According to an X post from Netflix, Black Doves has been renewed for its season two. The show’s premiere was on December 5 via mxdwn, and has already been given the green light to come back fifteen days later. Watch the announcement below!
In the video, the main character Helen’s actor Keira Knightey (Pride and Prejudice, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl) walks up to Ben Whisham (Paddington, Mary Poppins Returns) in a bar to whisper Merry Christmas. She proceeds to make a toast to season one. However Whisham proceeds to say, “Don’t forget Season Two, darling.” Then, they unwrap a napkin to reveal a bullet and place it into their drinks.
The official logline released by Netflix is as follows: “Set against the backdrop of London at Christmas, BLACK DOVES is a sharp, action-filled and heartfelt story of friendship and sacrifice. It follows Helen Webb (Keira Knightley), a quick-witted, down to earth, dedicated wife and mother — and professional spy. For 10 years, she’s been passing on her politician husband’s secrets to the shadowy organization she works for: the Black Doves. When her secret lover Jason (Andrew Koji) is assassinated, her spymaster, the enigmatic Reed (Sarah Lancashire), calls in Helen’s old friend Sam (Ben Whishaw) to keep her safe. Together, Helen and Sam set off on a mission to investigate who killed Jason and why, leading them to uncover a vast, interconnected conspiracy linking the murky London underworld to a looming geopolitical crisis.”
