Keeley Hawes, known for her role in the BBC drama ‘The Bodyguard,’ is set to star in the upcoming second season of ITV’s thriller ‘Gone.’ The series, created by George Kay, who also developed the hit Netflix show ‘Lupin,’ will see Hawes portraying Ruth Manning, a respected pediatric surgeon at Bristol’s Makeway Hospital.
The Chenab Times has learned that Hawes’ character will become entangled with DS Annie Cassidy, played by Eve Myles, as the narrative unfolds. The details surrounding the nature of their interaction and the plot developments are expected to be revealed as filming commences.
‘Gone’ is an anthology series that delves into cases of missing persons, with each season focusing on a different set of characters and their unique circumstances. The first season explored the disappearance of a young woman and the complex investigation that followed. The casting of Hawes, a three-time BAFTA nominee, alongside Myles, who reprises her role as DS Cassidy, signals a significant escalation in the series’ dramatic scope and star power for its sophomore outing.
The involvement of George Kay as creator and executive producer further solidifies ‘Gone’s’ position as a prominent psychological thriller. Kay has a proven track record in crafting intricate and suspenseful narratives, evident in the success of ‘Lupin,’ which garnered international acclaim for its clever plot twists and compelling characters. His vision for ‘Gone’ is expected to bring a similar level of sophisticated storytelling to the new season.
The Makeway Hospital setting for Hawes’ character suggests a potential exploration of medical ethics, personal secrets, or a direct link between the hospital and the disappearance cases that the series investigates. The juxtaposition of a dedicated surgeon’s life with the investigative efforts of DS Cassidy promises a rich dramatic conflict.
Further details regarding the production schedule, additional cast members, and the specific storyline for ‘Gone’ season two are anticipated to be released by ITV in the coming months. The series is produced by George Kay and Jamie Campbell for M.K. Productions and ITV Studios.
