The Split: Unexpected Comeback
The BBC legal drama The Split is set to make a surprising return, two years after the final series aired. The show revolves around the lives of the Dafoe sisters and their mother, all working as divorce lawyers.
Return of the Lead Characters
All the female lead characters, including Hannah, Nina, Rose, and Ruth, will be back for a shock two-part special of The Split. The special is scheduled to air on BBC One and iPlayer later this year.
Plot of the Special
Set two years after the third season, the special follows divorced Hannah as she contemplates finding love again at a wedding in Catalonia’s wine region. The storyline promises ‘break-ups, reunions, and plenty of romance.’
New Cast Members
Joining the returning cast members are new actors like Toby Stephens, along with Stephen Mangan, Ian McElhinney, and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. Production has already begun, with filming taking place in Barcelona.
Creator’s Tease
Creator Abi Morgan hinted at what viewers can expect from the special, promising a mix of ‘problematic prenups, scandalous wedding crashers, and low-flying marriage proposals’ in a chaotic and riotous weekend.
Previous Surprises
In past seasons, The Split has delivered unexpected twists, like the dissolution of Hannah and Nathan’s marriage without legal intervention. The show originally aired in 2018 and concluded its third season in 2022.
