The Heist is returning to Sky One in 2020

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘The Heist’ will be returning to Sky One for a second series.
The popular factual entertainment show sees ordinary small town citizens thrown into a high-stakes game of crime, and the new season – filmed in and around Northumberland – will see locals trying to escape from a team of detectives as they try to organise the perfect heist in a bid for a huge cash prize.
Sky’s commissioning editor of entertainment Shirley Jones said: “I am so thrilled that ‘The Heist’ is returning. It was a great show made by a brilliant team, which in turn became a huge hit with viewers.
“So many people thought they could do better than the thieves and easily outwit the detectives, so we’re throwing down the gauntlet and calling for the local people of Northumberland to join in for round two in this battle of cops versus robbers.”
Filming is set to start this summer, and the show will be back on air in 2020.
‘The Heist’ comes from Shine TV – the team behind ‘Hunted’ and ‘The Island’ – and the production company has promised “dramatic twists and turns” alongside a “rich” cast.
Matt Bennett, senior executive producer at Shine TV, added: “We’re delighted to be making ‘The Heist’ again for Sky One.
“This deliciously mischievous series will once again ask inventive, ordinary folk to plan and commit the perfect heist and runaway with the proceeds of their crime, which they must keep hidden from our team of detectives.
“On the one hand, The Heist unashamedly appeals to the uniquely British love of a good detective story, yet on the other, it revels in the dramatic twists and turns of a criminal caper, full of rich personalities and good humour.”
