Showtrial season 2 is coming to the BBC after a three-year wait, where there'll be a fresh cast and a new case.
In the first season, we focused on the mysterious disappearance of Hannah Ellis and an arrogant entrepreneur's daughter named Talitha Campbell finds herself as the prime suspect.
This time, it's an entirely new hotly contested criminal trial, with this season's case involving the death of high-profile climate activist named Marcus Calderwood, and the people who are trying to uncover the truth.
Speaking about the new season, Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama said: "We're so excited to once again join forces with Ben Richards and World Productions to bring a new unmissable Showtrial to BBC One and iPlayer.
"With Adeel, Nathalie, and Michael leading the cast, and a brand new central mystery to be played out in front of the nation, Showtrial will have viewers hooked from the start."
Here's everything we know about Showtrial season 2...

Showtrial season 2 plot
In Showtrial season 2, we see the the high-profile climate activist Marcus Calderwood left for dead in a violent hit and run. But in his dying moments, he reveals his killer is a serving policeman.
It's up to a charismatic and cocky officer, an anxious defence solicitor, and a rigorous CPS lawyer to uncover the truth and reveal whether or not Marcus' death was an accident or a planned attack.
This storyline is completely separate from season 1, but will follow a similar format where we'll witness the victim’s last breath all the way to the jury’s final verdict, uncovering evidence as we go.
Showtrial season 2 cast
Adeel Akhtar (Sherwood), Nathalie Armin (Unforgotten), and Michael Socha (This Is England) star in the three leading roles this season.
Michael plays officer Justin Mitchell, Adeel plays defence solicitor Sam Gill, and Nathalie is a rigorous CPS lawyer who is leading the case against the accused.
