For the upcoming season, BAFTA-winning actors Gbemisola Ikumelo and Hammed Animashaun will continue to headline the series, portraying Dom and Kay. Additionally, Akemnji Ndifornyen is set to return, taking on his character Tevin, the gang leader once more.

According to an official synopsis, the run will pick up with Dom and Kay now working for MI5.

In a different phrase, it goes like this: “Though they might work in the realm of espionage, their roles are far from glamorous – not all can be like James Bond; there’s always a need for those who handle the paperwork.

When I cross paths with an alluring spy named Steve, everything shifts gear for me. He presents an opportunity for thrilling, top-secret assignments that spark my curiosity and pique my interest.

Dom and Kay quickly become entangled in a thrilling adventure that pushes the boundaries of their intelligence, camaraderie, and passion for carnivals to the extreme.

Regarding returning, Ikumelo, a co-creator of the show along with Ndifornyen, likened stepping onto the set again to finding your favorite pair of shoes once more. He also hinted at some thrilling advancements that eager fans should anticipate.

She exclaimed, “It’s hard to imagine some of the incredible feats we’ve managed with this series again!

In the meantime, Ndifornyen expressed, “We loved making the first series so much that we decided to create a second one! Extremely thrilled about making it larger, more exceptional, and even more vibrant for the second season.

For Dom, Kay, and Tevin, whatever follows will undoubtedly be an exhilarating and humorous journey. Fasten your seatbelts, as it’s guaranteed to be both wild and entertaining!
