Will there be a second season of The Girl Before? Release date and cast speculation
The BBC One drama starred David Oyelowo, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Jessica Plummer and Ben Hardy
What next for The Girl Before?
Based on JP Delaney's 2018 bestseller of the same name, BBC One and HBO Max thriller The Girl Before (available to watch now as a box-set on BBC iPlayer) finally solved the question of what exactly happened to 'the girl before'.
Filmed around Bristol, the four-part series followed Jane (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), who applies to live in a strange, starkly minimalist house, One Folgate Street, designed by visionary architect Edward (David Oyelowo).
However, three years earlier another woman, Emma (Jessica Plummer), moved into the same house, and when Jane learns about her predecessor, she's struck by a series of unnerving similarities between them.
While we won't spoil the full The Girl Before ending on this page, suffice to say that the season finale delivered on its promises of twists and turns, with a killer hiding in plain sight...
However, it's not too much of a spoiler to say the episode included a post-credits cliffhanger of sorts, with a lettings agent once again showing a prospective tenant around One Folgate Street. Could a second season once again return to the house that caused so much trouble in season one?
