The Teacher season 2 now forms part of an anthology collection, and stars Kara Tointon, Emmett J Scanlan and Will Mellor.
When a student's death is revealed to be murder, Dani, a dedicated art teacher, quickly becomes entangled in a web of desire and deceit - with her own marriage at the centre of it.
Tointon's character is described as a teacher who "loves her job". "She's a real mentor and inspiration to her students, but what she lacks is a properly functioning marriage with real intimacy and mutual desire," the synopsis reads.

But everything changes when she has "an impulsive affair with a fellow colleague that at first answers all her needs, but soon spirals out of control".
The synopsis continues: "When a pupil goes missing on a school trip, Dani rightly blames herself for being too easily distracted.
"When things start to take a sinister turn, she is forced to lie, and quickly finds her life falling to pieces. She risks everything to right the wrongs that she has, in part, been responsible for."

The first season centred around Sheridan Smith's character Jenna Garvey, a teacher who was accused of having sex with one of her male students.
The Teacher season 2 has been written by Michael Crompton (The Catch, The Holiday) and Rebecca Wojciechowski (Silent Witness, Death in Paradise), with Dominic Leclerc (Sex Education, The Teacher) directing.
