Wreck Series 2: BBC Three Reveals First Look

BBC Three has unveiled an eagerly anticipated first glimpse into the second season of the critically lauded comedy horror series Wreck, promising a fresh slew of potential victims and heightened suspense. Following a debut season marked by a gripping, blood-drenched finale, the show, crafted by Ryan J. Brown, ventures into new territory with its surviving characters poised for a vengeful confrontation against Velorum, the sinister corporation responsible for Jamie’s sister’s demise.

The narrative picks up in the aftermath of season one, with Jamie, Vivian, and their assembled group of survivors back on solid ground, embarking on a bold mission to dismantle Velorum. Their plan leads them to disguise themselves and penetrate the heart of the company’s latest operation: a secluded ‘wellness’ festival for the affluent, set against the picturesque backdrop of the Slovenian countryside. As tensions escalate and alliances are tested, the series promises a harrowing journey where bloodshed is inevitable, and survival is far from guaranteed.

Returning to reprise their roles are Oscar Kennedy (Ladhood, Breeders), Thaddea Graham (Sex Education, Us), and Jodie Tyack (Noughts + Crosses, Unforgotten), among other members of the ensemble cast who managed to escape the horrors of the first series. The second installment also welcomes screen veteran Alan Dale (The OC, Lost, 24, Neighbours), adding a layer of gravitas to the already stellar lineup, alongside a host of new faces including Phil Martin, Orlando Norman, and Shaheen Jafargholi, promising fresh dynamics and intensified drama.

Commissioned by Fiona Campbell, the Controller of Youth Audience for BBC Three and BBC iPlayer, the second series of Wreck spans six episodes, each lasting 45 minutes. The project is a production of Euston Films, part of the Fremantle company, and receives backing from Northern Ireland Screen. With Noemi Spanos returning as executive producer alongside Brown, Chris Baugh, and Nick Lambon for the BBC, and directed by Chris Baugh (Boys from County Hell) and Louis Paxton (Shetland), the series sets the stage for a thrilling and blood-soaked adventure.

Scheduled for release this spring on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer, Wreck series two is poised to build on the success of its predecessor, offering audiences a blend of dark humor, suspense, and horror. With its innovative storytelling, compelling characters, and the promise of a “cleansing experience,” the show stands ready to captivate viewers and solidify its position as a standout offering in the realm of comedy horror. Fans can catch up with the first series, currently available on BBC iPlayer, to prepare for the upcoming season’s twists and turns.
