Bloodlands Series 2: Release date revealed

The long-awaited date for the second series of Bloodlands has just been announced.

James Nesbitt will be reprising his role as DCI Tom Brannick in the second series – after it was revealed at the end of the first season that the mysterious serial killer known as Goliath had actually been him all along.
