"It's a very fulfilling drama series because it's not interested in cliffhangers. It likes to reveal. The whole premise is that Annika likes to reveal - maybe too much! She overshares sometimes.
"She uses you, the viewer, to work out, moment by moment, both the case and her life. So, there are secrets, but they're not secret for long. It turns out she's absolutely dreadful at keeping secrets - which is why I think I love her!"
Annika season 2 will continue on Alibi on Wednesday 6th September 2023 at 9pm. Check out more of our Drama coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to see what's on tonight.
