We Hunt Together season 2 cast | Meet the characters

Season 2 of We Hunt Together, which previously aired on Alibi, is getting a second outing on the BBC.
Episodes 1 and 2 air tonight (Monday 8th July) from 10:40pm onwards, with all episodes also available to stream on iPlayer.
In the show's sophomore instalment, DS Lola Franks and DI Jackson Mendy are chasing new serial killer The Birdman, whose kill count is rapidly stacking up.
And the detectives also haven't forgotten about Freddy Lane, who they're "dead set on nailing for her murderous role in their last case".
"In a race to find The Birdman, it soon becomes clear that this new, devilishly dark murderer has a bigger plan which has both Freddy and the police chasing through the shadows as they try to unmask the sinister killer who starts to target victims close to Freddy, Jackson and Lola – and has them questioning just who they can trust," adds the official synopsis.
Alongside some familiar faces, the cast also includes a raft of newcomers.
