OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Noughts + Crosses’ is to return for a second series.
The BBC has confirmed the drama – which is based on Malorie Blackman’s bestselling novels – will be back with Jack Rowan and Masali Baduza reprising their roles of Callum and Sephy respectively.
Malorie said: “I am delighted that ‘Noughts + Crosses’ is returning for a second series.
“So many people have asked me, ’So what happens next?’.
“Now they will find out! Having read the scripts, I think I can safely say that even those familiar with the Noughts & Crosses series of books will find surprises, suspense and so much to savour.”
Paterson Joseph, Helen Baxendale, Bonnie Mbuli, Jonathan Ajayi, Josh Dylan and Kiké Brimah will all reprise their roles from the first series, and new cast members include ‘Top Boy’ actress Jasmine Jobson as Cara – an enigmatic new figure in Jude’s life – and ‘Endeavour’ actor Robert Hands joins as Clem.
The series will see Callum and Sephy desperate to flee Albion in search of a new life together, and Masali cannot wait to reprise her role.
She said: “The journey continues!
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to return to Sephy’s story with our talented cast and crew.”
Jack added: “I’m buzzing to be returning as Callum in the next series of ‘Noughts + Crosses’.
“The show means a lot to me and it’s an honour to have brought Malorie Blackman’s creation to life on screen.
“Here’s to the continuation of a story we hold very close to our hearts.
“Looking forward to getting the team back together.”
The four, one-hour-long episodes of series two will be written by Lydia Adetunji and Jerome Bucchan-Nelson, directed by Koby Adom and produced by Sarah Lewis.
Filming will begin next month in South Africa, and the series will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
