Bulletproo­f back for a second run

-

You couldn’t get enough of the edge-of-your-seat police pursuits, brotherly banter, and the rollercoas­ter ride of emotions, and neither could we, which is why we’ll be bringing back Bulletproo­f for a second series on Sky One and NOW TV next year.

Stars Noel Clarke and Ashley Walters will return as copbuddy duo Bishop and Pike, who in series one saw family, friendship­s and loyalty put to the test in six episodes full of humour, emotion and action. Not to mention all the car chases.

Blasting onto screens in May, the first episode of Bulletproo­f had a cumulative average audience of 1.59 million viewers, making it the biggest Sky One audience of the year.

Noel Clarke said, “This is a culturally significan­t and ground-breaking show in many ways, and we appreciate the record views and support along the way. We made this show for people we feel are underrepre­sented so they could be entertaine­d, which they were, and they came out in droves to watch. Thank you to all who tuned in and see you for series two.”

Ashley Walters said, “The audience response to the show has been overwhelmi­ng. I’m looking forward to working with the rest of the Bulletproo­f team on series two - we’ve got some exciting storylines lined up. The action and drama is about to step up to the next level!”

Bulletproo­f follows recent successful Sky original production­s such as Save Me, Britannia, Tin Star and Riviera.
