The Gold season 2, which will continue the police hunt for the gold stolen in the infamous 1983 Brink's-Mat robbery, is now officially on the way, after reports that it was in the works.
With The Gold season 1 proving a huge hit, it was always likely the BBC would order a second run and now they have.
Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama says: "We’re immensely proud to partner with Neil Forsyth and the team to continue the story of The Gold. Millions of viewers across the U.K. were enthralled with its gripping and confident exploration of the fallout from the notorious Brink’s-Mat robbery and, as we saw, there’s still so much more left for DCS Boyce and the team to uncover."
Here's everything we know...

The Gold season 2 plot
The final scenes of the first series set up the second, with the cops realizing that they'd only tracked down half the gold. The BBC teases: "Following the conviction of some of those involved in the theft and handling of the Brink’s-Mat gold, the police (Hugh Bonneville, Charlotte Spencer, Emun Elliot) realized that those criminals only ever had half of it. Series two explores what happened to the other half, and the criminal fortune it created. As the police investigation continues, it becomes a tense, high-stakes journey into international money laundering and organized crime, while the police embark on dramatic manhunts as they desperately try to solve the longest and most expensive investigation in the history of the Metropolitan Police."
The Gold season 2 cast
Hugh Bonneville (Brian Boyce), Charlotte Spencer (Nicki Jennings), Emun Elliott (Tony Brightwell), Tom Cullen (John Palmer), Stefanie Martini (Marnie Palmer) and Sam Spruell (Charlie Miller) all return. But Jack Lowden won't be back as criminal Kenneth Noye. Nor will Dominic Cooper be returning as dodgy solicitor Edwyn Cooper.
