Boiling Point star on potential season 2: "There’d be a lot of fear"
Izuka Hoyle sat down with RadioTimes.com to chat about potential season 2 plans for Boiling Point.
It's the drama that many have been waiting for, and at just four episodes long, Boiling Point fans have soon started to wonder whether or not there could be a second season in the works.
The first episode gave us an insight into how the series will unfold, providing a closer look into some of the characters' personal lives, while also exploring the trials and tribulations of running a restaurant in this climate.
We follow Carly (Vinette Robinson) and many of her returning team from Jones & Sons as they try to establish their new restaurant, Point North, amid a whole host of problems, new characters and more.
Well, one of the main characters that reprises their role from the critically acclaimed 2021 film is Izuka Hoyle, who returns to Boiling Point as Camille.
Speaking exclusively with RadioTimes.com, the actress revealed more about whether she would return for more if season 2 was given the green light.
She revealed: "I think I would. With each time you do this, if season 1 is received as well as the film is, there is that added bit of pressure.

"Obviously, if you’re asked back, your part and your time there is only ever going to increase, and then you have that fear and that imposter syndrome, which is like, 'Right, third time lucky, this is where they might figure out that we’re all just throwing s**t at the wall and seeing what sticks.' Not that, but far more calculated than that."
She continued: "There’d be a lot of fear, but I think it’s in the moments of fear where you choose to be brave where the magic happens. That kind of ritual has always occurred when making Boiling Point, and it’s always paid off. I would, definitely – my knees would quiver, but they wouldn’t buckle."
