Season two of Irvine Welsh’s Crime delves deeper into the gritty underworld of Scotland. This season of Crime will air on select platforms throughout the world, and comprises six episodes. The show follows Lennox (played by Dougray Scott) as he returns to the Edinburgh Serious Crimes unit led by commissioner Bob Toal (Ken Stott). As he settles in, Lennox finds there have been fresh promotions in the office, along with two all-new colleagues not seen in season one. The series centers around a gruesome attack that leads detectives Lennox and Drummond (played by Joanna Vanderham) on a new investigation. Eventually it becomes clear that the real story is more than what it initially seemed, with signs of an official cover-up that will have Lennox go head-to-head with some surprising foes. Irvine Welsh has also stated that he has written a transgender character into season 2, in an effort to show how people are struggling with their identity in the modern world. He also stated that he is planning for a third season, with the aim to have the series conceived as a trilogy. So, it’s possible season 2 may end with unresolved plotlines and cliffhangers.
