Black Doves: Will There Be a Season 2 of the Keira Knightley Spy Series?

Here's everything we know about Black Doves season 2.

Has Black Doves season 2 been confirmed?

Yes! In a rare move from Netflix, the streamer confirmed that the show has already been renewed for a second season, before the first season even drops. This was announced at Edinburgh TV festival earlier this year.

Show creator Joe Barton has already opened up to Deadline about the pressure mounting on both season 1 and 2.

"It's a different kind of pressure now," he said. "When you do a show you are always wanting it to do well to get a second season but now they've already let us come back the pressure is about hoping it does well to reward that faith."

What is the plot of Black Doves season 2?

No plot synopsis has been released yet, though in the Black Doves season 1 finale we learn the identify of the person who killed Helen's lover Jason to be an MI5 agent who was in love with her.

In a gripping face-off with Alex (the head of the Clarks), it's revealed that her son Trent was in fact responsible for the murder, in addition to the accidental killing of Ambassador Chen which almost led to a global incident.

Helen is understandably distraught yet conflicted on how best to enact her revenge due to his age and the threat it would likely pose to her own family given his intimate ties to the Clarks.

While she mulls this over with her gun aimed at Trent's head, ultimately Sam ends up pulling the trigger to save Helen from the risk. Having previously vowed to not get himself tangled up in the dangers that come with his hitman past, in order to save his best friend he shoots Trent, seemingly dashing all hopes of finally settling down with his lov,e Michael.

The interaction mirrors that of the incident we learn about earlier in their friendship in which Helen saves Sam after receiving an SOS call when he was compromised. After shooting his attacker, Helen agreed with Reed that she would only stay with Black Doves if full protection was guaranteed for Sam's partner Michael as well as a full clean up of the crime scene.
