Following the recent wrap on filming for the hotly anticipated second series of hit U&alibi drama Bookish (6x70’), UKTV today unveils a selection of first look images that offer a glimpse at what’s in store for the guest stars and original ensemble. Star of Celebrity Traitors, Ruth Codd also joins the line-up as India Flynn.

Bookish is created by Emmy Award-winning writer Mark Gatiss and is a production of Eagle Eye Drama (an ITV Studios Company). As international distributor, Beta Film is handling the world sales, with PBS Distribution holding North American rights. The series is executive produced by Jo McGrath and Walter Iuzzolino for Eagle Eye and Helen Perry for UKTV. Carolina Giammetta returns as director and executive producer alongside producer Jake Harvey, with episodes written by Mark Gatiss, Matthew Sweet and Ian Hallard. The second series of Bookish will air on U&alibi later this year.

The first series, which aired last year on U&alibi, saw an incredible launch - averaging 1.5 million viewers (TC)* and exceeding benchmarks to land as the channel’s second highest performing premiere ever**.
