Another series has dodged the dreaded ax of cancellation, as the popular dark comedy Sweetpea has now been officially renewed for a second season. The exciting news of Sweetpea Season 2 comes courtesy of Variety, who revealed that the show, which stars Fallout actor Ella Purnell as a seemingly mild-mannered administrative assistant with a killer secret, will return thanks to Sky and Starz.

Purnell, who has received widespread acclaim for her lead performance as the deceptively violent Rhiannon Lewis, responded to the news, saying she “cannot wait” for audiences to see what’s coming in Season 2.

“Being part of Rhiannon’s coming-of-rage journey has been a career highlight for me, and to see fans engage with and relate to our oddball Rhiannon, in all her complexity, feels truly special. I cannot wait for audiences to see what she does next. Stay tuned.”
