up with Clapperboard, Blackbox Media and Night Train again for a second series
of The Ex-Wife. The first series was a huge success and this time we
promise viewers even more twists and turns! I can’t wait to see this incredible
cast bring the next instalment of this drama to life.”
Executive Producer

co-pro partners Blackbox and Night Train, we were delighted with the reaction
to Series 1 of The Ex-Wife. Series 2 builds on the intrigue and
emotional complexity which underpins the characters and plot – but also takes
us somewhere unexpected and surprising. With the wonderful Celine, Tom and
Jordan returning - and the fantastic Katie McGrath joining the cast - we’re
looking forward to seeing how they, and our brilliant production team, tackle
the story.”
