Great news for fans of UK thriller The Fall, which will return to SBS next month.

The drama starring Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan screened its second season on Pay TV last year.

It returns Thursday, 19 November at 8.30pm while SBS will also replay Season 1 starting 10.15pm, 7 November (Ep 1 & 2) and 14 November at 10.40pm (Eps 3-5) and on SBS On Demand from Sunday, November 8.

A third season is yet to appear.

Following on from the first season’s gripping cliff-hanger, Gillian Anderson (The X Files), returns as Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson who is on the trail of serial murderer Paul Spector, played by Jamie Dornan (Fifty Shades of Grey). Despite Gibson and Spector never actually meeting on screen, the chemistry between the two characters was electric and the escalating rivalry became the lynchpin of season one, leaving audiences crying out for more.

This season, a personal link from Spector’s past opens up some clues for Gibson but provokes Spector in a way that threatens to jeopardise the whole investigation. Gibson is forced to take ever greater risks but the closer she comes to capturing him, the more Spector trespasses into her private world, delighting in taunting and provoking her. As the net gradually tightens around him he becomes psychologically ever more dangerous and destructive.

Set in Belfast, Northern Ireland, this critically acclaimed series is written and directed by Emmy award-winning Allan Cubitt (The Boys Are Back, Murphy’s Law, Prime Suspect 2) and produced by Emmy award-winning producer Gub Neal and Julian Stevens.

The Fall starts with a double episode, 8.30pm, Thursday 19 November and continues 9.30pm, Thursdays on SBS.

  1. Unfortunately Season 2 is not nearly as good as Season 1.
    Was really looking forward to watching as I absolutely loved the first series but found it a disappointment overall.

  2. Enjoyed the first season on SBS and have been waiting for S2 to get here. Good to see some quality programming on FTA that’ll run into the non-ratings survey period.
