Yes, Patience is getting a second season – but it’s not confirmed yet whether it’s airing on PBS.
Show star Ella Maisy Purvis told TV Insider that Patience Season 2 production is already underway in the U.K.
She said that Season 2 will continue to address how neurodivergence is portrayed in media, adding: “Season 2 explores that a lot more.”
Patience was renewed by Channel 4 in May. Ella is returning as the titular character, but Laura Fraser won’t be back as Bea Metcalf. The new detective in charge will be Detective Frankie Monroe, played by Jessica Hynes.
In addition, returning cast includes Nathan Welsh as DS Jake Hunter, Mark Benton as Calvin Baxter, Adrian Rawlins as Douglas Gilmore, Ali Ariaie as DC Will Akbari, Connor Curren as Billy Thompson, Liza Sadovy as Dr. Loretta Parsons, and Tom Lewis as Elliot Scott.
Patience Season 2 will be longer with eight episodes instead of six.
Channel 4’s description for Season 2 reads: “Patience will continue her work in the police criminal records department of City of York Police after establishing herself as an invaluable member of the team, bringing her unique insight into a series of perplexing cases. However, when a new boss, Detective Frankie Monroe brings a very different management style, it proves tricky for them both to navigate. Love is also in the air in this series as Patience begins a relationship with a work colleague Elliot and the police department gets a makeover with the arrival of a new PR consultant all whilst tackling intriguing crimes in extraordinary settings such as York Minster.”
