The Split: A Comeback of BBC Legal Drama
The popular BBC legal drama, The Split, is set to make an unexpected comeback with a two-part special, surprising fans after the final series aired two years ago. The show, created and written by Abi Morgan, revolves around the lives of the Dafoe sisters and their mother, all working as divorce lawyers.
Return of Familiar Faces
All the female lead characters, including Hannah, Nina, Rose, and Ruth, are set to return for the special, which will air on BBC One and iPlayer later this year. The storyline picks up two years after the third season, with divorced Hannah contemplating love once again at a wedding in Catalonia’s wine region.
Exciting Plot Twists
The special promises to deliver a mix of ‘break-ups, reunions, and romance,’ according to the BBC. Joining the original cast are new actors like Toby Stephens, along with Stephen Mangan, Ian McElhinney, and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith for this Spanish extravaganza.
Production has already begun, with filming locations including Barcelona. Abi Morgan teases viewers with a glimpse into the chaotic and riotous weekend at the destination wedding, filled with drama and unexpected twists.
Previous Surprises and Anticipated Drama
Viewers familiar with the show will recall the shocking developments from previous seasons, such as Hannah and Nathan’s marriage falling apart. The upcoming special is expected to deliver the same level of drama and emotional rollercoaster that fans have come to love.
Originally airing in 2018, The Split ran for three seasons and 18 episodes until 2022. The special is eagerly awaited by fans and is scheduled to air on BBC One and iPlayer later this year.
