UK actor Martin Freeman will be returning in The Responder, but admits he hadn’t anticipated the police drama proceeding to further episodes.
“I didn’t [see it as a returning series], not necessarily,” he tells Radio Times. “But as we were doing it, I could see more of it.
“I first read it as a standalone thing, with just five episodes, but I enjoying the doing of it very much and obviously it’s been well-received.”
In March the series about urgent response officer Chris Carson battling his own mental health struggles was renewed for a second season.
“If anything, I’m too much of a fan of things being finite, you know? If it was up to me, we probably wouldn’t finish a single episode of anything – just three scenes and then stop before it goes bad!” he added.
The Responder screens in Australia on SBS.
