The teaser sees Knightley and Ben Whishaw toasting to another season of mysteries and their kick-ass chemistry. The first season saw Helen embarking on a passionate affair with a man who has no idea what her secret identity is. She’s caught in the crosshairs when her lover falls victim to the dangerous London underworld and her employer calls in Sam to protect her. With an amazing season finale, it remains to be seen what the second season entails.

“If it was down to me, I’d probably set everything at Christmas. I just like writing about it. But no, I think mostly because of schedules and release, to have something ready for next Christmas would be impossible . And then you’d be in a situation where we’d have to make people wait two years for the Christmas after that, which should just be too long. So I think inevitably it’s not going to be a Christmas show. But it’ll be interesting to see them out of their winter coats.”
