The Netflix spy thriller is currently in production in London

Neve Campbell, Ambika Mod, Babou Ceesay and Sam Riley are among the cast of the second series of Black Doves, that started filming in London for Netflix over a month ago.

Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw and Sarah Lancashire also return for Series 2, alongside Andrew Buchan, Kathryn Hunter, Ella Lily Hyland, Gabrielle Creevy, Agnes O’Casey, Molly Chesworth, Sylvia Hoeks, Goran Kostic and Samuel Barnett.

Writer/creator Joe Barton also executive produces for his prodco Noisy Bear, alongside Jane Featherstone and Chris Fry for Sister, and Knightley. The directors for Series 2 are Julian Farino and Kieron Hawkes; Callum Devrell-Cameron is series producer.

Anne Mensah, VP of content, Netflix UK, said: “To say we are over excited about welcoming the Black Doves team back to Netflix would be an understatement.  This is what happens when best in class writing meets best in class directing and extraordinary acting in a dark alley with guns and champagne.  We couldn’t be more thrilled and we know the Black Doves fandom is waiting!”

Barton added: “I couldn’t be more excited to delve back into the world of our murderous little spy family. To have so many of our amazing cast returning and also being able to add some of my absolute favourite actors into the mix is such a great joy. Downing Street will never be the same again…”
