Sky and STARZ started filming in London the second season of the darkly comic Sky Original thriller "Sweetpea". Ella Purnell ("Fallout") returns as wallflower-turned-killer Rhiannon Lewis, joined this series by new cast members Tamsin Greig ("Riot Women") and Rish Shah ("Overcompensating").

Rish Shah joins the cast as Rhiannon's romantic interest Gabriel, alongside Tamsin Greig who stars as AJ’s mother, Liv. Taj Atwal ("Riot Women") steps in as Freya, Rhiannon’s formidable new boss at the Carnsham Gazette, while Jenny Walser ("Heartstopper") plays an adoring new friend Daisy.

Rounding out a stellar ensemble cast, returning to the series are Jon Pointing ("Big Boys"), Jeremy Swift ("Ted Lasso"), Leah Harvey ("Foundation"), Ingrid Oliver ("Thursday Murder Club"), Nitin Ganatra ("Mr Bigstuff") and Alexandra Dowling ("Emily").

Executive Producers Ella Purnell, Ella Jones and Patrick Walters said: “We are thrilled that 'Sweetpea' and the world of Carnsham are back in full swing for Season 2, with new and exciting characters for what promises to be an intoxicating ride for Rhiannon as she continues on her murderous journey. This season, the stakes are even higher, and as the consequences of her actions begin to close in, questions of morality and justice will come into play.”

Executive Director of Original Scripted for Sky (UK&I), Meghan Lyvers said: "We are delighted to return with some fan favourites and to introduce a brilliant new cast of such high calibre. Sweetpea’s second season will be packed with wickedly funny moments, dynamic storytelling, and as ever, twisted morality."

The series is adapted from C.J. Skuse’s novel of the same name and produced by See-Saw Films and fanboy in association with Sky Studios.
