Bodyguard Series 2 renewed? Creator Jed Mcurio would “absolutely” love a second hit at the BBC drama, but its fate rests in the lap of the renewal gods.. and actor Richard Madden.
Per RadioTimes:
“Some shows do nosedive at the end, or some piece of content could become incredibly controversial and affect the way the show is seen. In the end, you have to accept that the broadcaster holds all the cards.”
Mercurio explained that the one major hurdle for a possible Bodyguard series two would be actor Madden’s availability.
“He’s the genuine article, a real leading man. And I think this role has put him very much in the spotlight for bigger things,” Mercurio said.
“So the practicality may be that we have to work round his availability, if we are lucky enough to get him back.”
Do you want Bodyguard Series 2? Should the show be one-and-done? Stay tuned…
Absolutely! I have admired Jed Mercurio’s writing since Bodies. I just wish I had waited until all the episodes were out before I started watching. The suspense of waiting from week to week is killing me!
