One day after the Season 1 finale for The Gold, PBS Masterpiece has dropped the first trailer for Season 2 of the gold heist drama starring Hugh Bonneville and Tom Cullen, ahead of its 2026 premiere.
The big question in Season 2 is what happened to more than three tons of the Brinks-Mat gold stolen in the daring 1983 raid, after police realize those they convicted didn’t have all of it.
Season 2 will explore what happened to the other half, and the criminal fortune it created.
Inspired by the true story of the 1983 Brink’s-Mat robbery of gold bullion worth £26m that took place in London, Jack Lowden (Slow Horses), Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey), Tom Cullen (Downton Abbey), Charlotte Spencer (Sanditon) and Emun Elliott (Guilt) reprise their roles in the second installment. They are joined by Stephen Campbell Moore (Masters of the Air), Sam Spruell (Fargo), Sean Teale (Doctor Odyssey) and Tom Hughes (Victoria) as the hunt for the remaining half of the stolen gold heats up.
Per the synopsis: “As the police investigation continues, it becomes a tense, high-stakes journey into international money laundering and organized crime, while the police embark on dramatic manhunts as they desperately try to solve the longest and most expensive investigation in the history of the Metropolitan Police.”
Jack Lowdon and Dominic Cooper also starred in Season 1.
Salt commissioned the six-part season two of The Gold. Tannadice Pictures, the joint venture set up by Forsyth and Objective Fiction, part of All3Media’s Objective Media Group, makes the show in association with All3Media International, which has international sales rights.
Neil Forsyth (Guilt, Eric, Ernie & Me) is the writer, Patrick Harkins (Tin Star, Guilt) the director and Charlie Leech (Bounty Hunters, Lovesick) returns as producer. Executive producers are Forsyth and Ben Farrell for Tannadice Pictures, and Nick Lambon for the BBC.
