Suspect unveils first look at season 2 as Dominic Cooper joins cast
Cooper joins Suspect season 2 with Anne-Marie Duff, Ben Miller and Vinette Robinson, among many others.
It's about time for a brand new thriller to take over our TV schedules and get everyone talking. So, it's a good thing then that we've finally got our first look at Suspect season 2, which is coming to our screens this summer.
Filling that dramatic void, the new season of the Channel 4 series sees Anne-Marie Duff's season 1 character, Dr Susannah Newman, very much at the helm of things this time around, taking over the lead role from James Nesbitt's Danny.
While the pair were previously seen trying to figure out the truth behind their daughter's unexpected death, this season will see Duff's Susannah faced with a mysterious new client, Jon, played by The Gold's Dominic Cooper.
We have our first look at Cooper in the role as Jon (above), looking slightly bleary-eyed as he looks at Susannah.
In another image, it's clear to see that Susannah is stressed about something and looks confused as she has a conversation in what looks to be a train station.
But with new tensions also comes a brand new cast of characters which include the likes of Professor T's Ben Miller as Detective Superintendent Richard Groves, who we also get a glimpse of as he stares intently at Susannah.
Friday Night Dinner's Tamsin Greig also joins the season 2 cast as Natasha Groves, while The Gathering's Vinette Robinson is Louisa McAdams.
The rest of the Suspect season 2 cast also includes Eddie Marsan (Back to Black) as Alistair Underwood, Celine Buckens (The Castaways) as Sapphire, Nicholas Pinnock (Top Boy) as Joseph Buckley and Gina McKee (Bodyguard) as Kate.
Fans of the first season will be pleased to know that season 2 picks up where season 1 left off, with Susannah still struggling with the death of her daughter but also now having to contend with the fact she now has a serial killer as a client.

According to the synopsis: "When a mysterious new client, Jon, admits under hypnosis that he is a murderer and intends on killing another young female that evening, Susannah knows he must be stopped at all costs."
The synopsis continues: "When he escapes before the police arrive, and as her former lover detective superintendent Richard Grove is refusing to take action, Susannah is forced to embark on her own deadly mission to save Sapphire’s life, the way she couldn’t do with her own daughter."
Adapted from the Danish original Forhøret (Face to Face), which was created by Christoffer Boe and written by Boe and Anna Juul, this new season has been produced by Eagle Eye Drama (in association with Happy Duck Films and the Belgian Tax Shelter) and will debut on Channel 4 in the UK this summer. It will also premiere this autumn on BritBox International in the US and Canada.
