First look at Anne-Marie Duff in second series of Suspect

FANS of the Channel 4 thriller Suspect have been treated to a sneak preview from the second series of the popular drama.

A selection of images have been released this week showing lead character Dr Susannah Newman, played by Anne-Marie Duff, and a host of new faces who have been signed up for the next instalment.

The eight-part drama, which will be broadcast over the summer, picks up where series one left viewers.

Dr Newman is on a quest to find the truth about her daughter’s tragic death.

Ben Miller, who plays Superintendent Richard Grove, also returns for the second series

However, when a mysterious new client Jon, played by Dominic Cooper, makes a disturbing confession under hypnosis, she is forced to embark on her own deadly mission to save a life – something she could not do for her own daughter.
