Riley (Firebrand) plays Patrick, an emissary from a mysterious organisation, who offers Sam a lifeline. Neve Campbell (Scream) also joins the cast as Cecile Mason. Other new additions include Ambika Mod (One Day) playing Laila, an acerbic and anarchic Black Doves agent who is sent to help Helen on a mission. Babou Ceesay (Alien: Earth) plays Mr Conteh, a Black Doves executive with suspicious motivations.
They will also be joined by Sylvia Hoeks (Blade Runner 2049) playing Katia Chernov, Goran Kostic (Canary Black) playing Alexi Chernov and Samuel Barnett (Lee) playing Jerry.
Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw and Sarah Lancashire will return for Season 2 alongside Andrew Buchan, Kathryn Hunter, Ella Lily Hyland, Gabrielle Creevy, Agnes O’Casey and Molly Chesworth.
Season 2 Synopsis | Helen (Keira Knightley) is still betraying her nation’s secrets to the covert organisation she serves: the Black Doves. But after the misadventures of last Christmas, and with her husband Wallace (Andrew Buchan), preparing to become Prime Minister, she is walking a more treacherous line than ever.
As Helen’s enigmatic handler Mrs Reed (Sarah Lancashire) is ensnared in a ruthless plot to undermine her position in the Black Doves, Helen is reunited with her best friend Sam (Ben Whishaw). The once high-end triggerman is now reduced to lonely drinks in Soho bars and low-rate hits. As they search for answers, loyalties are weaponised, trust is shattered, and the fight to protect the people they love could cost everything. With all the explosive wit of Series 1, Helen and Sam’s mission leads them back to old friends and enemies, through the dark decisions and painful sacrifices of their pasts, and right to the heart of the Black Doves.
Show creator Joe Barton said “I couldn’t be more excited to delve back into the world of our murderous little spy family. To have so many of our amazing cast returning and also being able to add some of my absolute favourite actors into the mix is such a great joy. Downing Street will never be the same again…”
Anne Mensah (VP of Content, Netflix UK) also commented “To say we are over excited about welcoming the Black Doves team back to Netflix would be an understatement. This is what happens when best in class writing meets best in class directing and extraordinary acting in a dark alley with guns and champagne. We couldn’t be more thrilled and we know the Black Doves fandom is waiting!”
There is no launch date on Netflix for Black Doves Season 2, wouldn’t be surprise if it’s 2026.
