“And I think it’s a little bit more of an emotional show this year because grief is such a big theme and they’re all on a much more emotional journey.”
Greene also waxed lyrical about the introduction of Fiona Shaw (Killing Eve, True Detective: Night Country), who plays Roger’s sister Angelica.
“I really want them to see her,” she added. ‘She really threatens everything, she knows way too much. Angelica is a real curtain-raiser, but she’s also quite dangerous. She interferes in their lives. She threatens Bibi’s marriage, her really strong marriage.’

Eva Birthistle, who plays Ursula, described season 2 as “more layered”.
“It’s a more complicated, complex storyline,” she continued. “And the new characters are really brilliant and really spice things up.
“It all unfolds in a very surprising and shocking way, which I don’t think the audience will necessarily be prepared for, but I think they’ll really enjoy it.
Anne-Marie Duff (Grace) also teased some “some lovely twists”.
“And because this time it’s Sharon’s (Horgan) story (season 1 was based on the Belgian series Clan), she can be as playful as she wants. She’s not following a different version of the story from before, so she can just get her tail feathers going like a writer.
