The six-episode series revolves around the imaginable character of Police Sergeant David Budd(Richard Madden) a British Military combat-experienced soldier who is facing PTSD and has begun working for the Royalty and Specialist Protection Branch of London’s Metropolitan Police Service.
He has been given the role of Principal Protection Officer (PPO) for the desirous Home Secretary Julia Montague whose politics he hates. With each passing episode, the drama put remarks on several matters related to the disputes of the government. The first season of the thriller was released on 26th August 2018.
Now, more than 2 years have passed since the drama was launched and fans are wondering whether Bodyguard season 2 will happen or not. Well, the answer to this question has just arrived so take a look at what it is –
Has Netflix Disclosed Bodyguard Season 2 Release Date?
Right now it’s seeming that season 2 can arrive in the future. In September 2018, Mercurio mentioned that he was on the way to start a conversation regarding the second season of the show. Thereafter, Madden comfortably put forward his intent to meet with Mercurio so that they can talk about the future of season 2.
In November 2019 Mercurio validated on Twitter that he had smashed a big barrier that was lying on the path of the second version of the drama. So, it is looking that the second season will arrive in the coming time. But unfortunately, till now creators haven’t given a green signal to Bodyguard Season 2.
So, the question arises why Showrunners are taking so much time to reveal their decisions. The reports of trusted sources like MANOFMANY suggest that creator, Jed Mercurio, and star Richard Madden are busy doing their other projects.
Mercurio is busy doing the production of the superhit detective show Line Of Duty which also faced temporary suspension the previous month because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The director and scriptwriter, Mercurio has earlier promised to deliver the sixth season of Line Of Duty prior to giving more heed to the second season of Bodyguard.
How Will Bodyguard Season 2 Plot Be?
The introductory season of the series disclosed that Julia Montague was murdered by Luke Aitkens (Matt Stokoe) and his gangsters. Now, why did they do so? Well, they did so, so that they can block her from becoming PM and also for shifting more powers to the security services which would have given an opportunity to MI5 to see the kind of deceitful agreements that build the crime lord his money.
Ultimately, his deeds got disclosed and Aitkens was sent to prison including Budd’s Lorraine Craddock – a bent copper who gave Aitkens Juliya’s travel books and information of her security measures in place of money. It was also disclosed that train attacker Nadia wasn’t literally a weak sufferer but a secret explosive-creator. Again, Nadia and her arsonists’ companions worked with Lute Aitkens for funds – to create extra explosions and later their cause.
Free from any kind of accusations in Julia’s murder, David asks for support for his mental health problems and at the same time, he also improves his bonding with Vicky and their two kids. Initially, David was blamed for doing murder of Julia but later he proved himself innocent. In this way, the second season finished leaving no cliffhangers. Therefore, we can’t anticipate the incidents that can happen in season 2.
