The Teacher reveals tense and steamy trailer for season 2
Kara Tointon and Will Mellor star in the second season of what has become an anthology series.
With the second season of The Teacher airing from Monday 9th September on Channel 5, a trailer has now been released – and RadioTimes.com has got an online exclusive first look at it.
In the preview for season 2 – which will tell a whole new story, separate from the first which starred Sheridan Smith – we are introduced to Kara Tointon's Dani, a teacher who has an affair with a colleague while supervising a school trip.
Distracted by her affair, Dani fails to notice when one of the students in her care goes missing – leading to their tragic death.
After she is forced to lie about her whereabouts, the truth comes out, causing Dani not only to face a crisis in her marriage, but also a police investigation. As things spiral out of control, we hear that another body has been found...

When the new season was first announced, Sebastian Cardwell, deputy chief content officer for the UK at Paramount, said in a statement: "This is another gripping and exciting story evolved from The Teacher, which was a huge success for the channel.
"We have an incredibly talented cast on board, and I can't wait for them to bring this story to life."
