LAST TANGO IN HALIFAX Returns to PBS for Season 2

It is such a pleasure to be able to post this news here. Last Tango in Halifax will premiere its second season on PBS, June 29th. Alan (Derek Jacobi) and Celia (Anne Reid) will be back to delight us once again with their romance and humor. Joining them again will be their daughters, Gillian and Caroline, and all their dysfunctional baggage.

In the first season, Celia and Alan, who were once sweethearts, find each other on the internet sixty years later. In spite of some resistance from their families, the couple weather their storms together, including a near-death scare for Alan. It was a rollercoaster ride of emotions as we followed Alan and Celia reacquainting with each other, catching up on all the lost years and in the end discovering that no matter what, they were always meant to be together. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next as they prepare for their wedding day.

“Having come so close to losing each other forever thanks to Alan’s near fatal heart attack, he and Celia decide to have a romantic secret wedding as soon as possible. But how will their respective daughters react? The uptight Caroline and rebellious Gillian are discovering they actually quite like each other, however Gillian’s need to own up to her night with Caroline’s ex-husband John could jeopardize the soon-to-be stepsisters’ fledgling friendship. As secrets from the past come tumbling out and family members adjust to changing relationships, can Alan and Celia find the long-awaited happiness they deserve?”

The cast includes Sarah Lancashire (“Five Daughters,” “Wuthering Heights,” “Inspector George Gently”) as Caroline, Nicola Walker (“Inside Men,” “Spooks,” “Being Human”) as Gillian, Tony Gardner (“Fresh Meat,” “My Parents Are Aliens”) as John, Dean Andrews (“Life On Mars,” “Ashes To Ashes,” “Marchlands”) as Robbie, Nina Sosanya (“Silk,” “Five Days,” “Hustle”) as Kate, Ronni Ancona (“Skins,” “Big Impression”) as Judith and Josh Bolt (“Shameless,” Nowhere Boy) as Raff.

We’ll be posting photos, video clips and previews as they become available so stay tuned!
