Following the success of The Teacher back in 2022, the series is back for another instalment on Channel 5 - and there is now a first look at the mysterious thriller!
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."
