Overview
- Jing Lusi reprises DS Hana Li, with Line of Duty’s Martin Compston introduced as Clay Brody in the male lead role replacing Richard Armitage.
- The new run shifts from an in‑flight mystery to a broader conspiracy beginning with a Heathrow murder, an embassy lockdown and a threat to a UK government jet.
- ITV and multiple outlets confirm Richard Armitage will make a brief surprise return in episode five as Dr Matthew Nolan.
- Viewers quickly flagged perceived inaccuracies in the premiere, including Ryanair branding shown at Heathrow where the airline does not operate.
- Creator Peter A. Dowling continues to lead the series with Kieron Hawkes and Camilla Strøm Henriksen directing, after season one drew roughly 29–30 million streams on ITVX.
