“Wreck” Season Two – First Look Images Tease New Slaying Grounds and Killer Look [Exclusive]

Wreck Season Two First Look

It’s official! A new season of comedy-horror series “Wreck” is on the way, and Bloody Disgusting has exclusive first look images that tease new slaying grounds and a killer new look for season one’s cruise ship mascot-turned-killer, Quacky the Duck.

Created and written by Ryan J. Brown, “Wreck” leaves treacherous international waters behind for a wellness festival in series two as the mysteries behind the corrupt Velorum deepens.

“Wreck” season two will launch this Spring on BBC Three and later this year on Hulu. You can catch up on the first season now on Hulu.

The new season “is set in the months after the events of series one’s shocking blood-soaked conclusion. We re-join Jamie, Vivian and their found family of survivors back on land, as they strike back against Velorum, the corporate murder machine that claimed Jamie’s sister. In a daring and desperate attempt to bring the Company down, the gang go undercover to infiltrate Velorum’s newest venture – an exclusive ‘wellness’ festival for millionaires in the remote Slovenian countryside. Relationships fray, blood pours, and not everyone will be making it out alive. It’s going to be a cleansing experience…”

When Bloody Disgusting spoke with Ryan J. Brown about the series last year, the series’ creator offered crucial teases for what’s ahead: ““Each series will be in a different location. I can say that. Probably can’t say that. I said it, though. Each series will be in a different location with a slightly different feel, a different tone, and a different look. That was something I was keen to do. Not an anthology series by any means, but we’re taking these characters to different places, and the corporation running the cruise line is a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate with loads of different assets and interests around the world. It’s a big company. So that was always the plan to have this big corporation and this small group of misfits trying to take down the evil Velorum company. So, I’ve always had a three-series idea. In series two, we play around slightly. We don’t fully embrace it, but we get to play around with folk horror a little bit. We’re still, first and foremost, a darker comic slasher. But we dabble in folk a little bit.

Like the first, the second season will run six episodes, 45-minutes each.

Oscar Kennedy (Ladhood, Breeders), Thaddea Graham (Sex Education, Us) and Jodie Tyack (Noughts + Crosses, Unforgotten) return alongside fellow survivors Anthony Rickman (Enola Holmes), Amber Grappy (One Day), Peter Claffey (Bad Sisters), Miya Ocego, Warren James Dunning, Alice Nokes, James Phoon (Bridgerton), Ali Hardman, Rory O’Neill (Panti), and Harriet Webb (Big Boys).

Screen legend Alan Dale (The OC, Lost, 24, Neighbours) joins the cast for “Wreck” series two, alongside new cast members Phil Martin, Orlando Norman, Shaheen Jafargholi, Sam Buttery, Greg Austin (Hunters), Carolyn Bracken (You Are Not My Mother), Niamh Walsh (The Sandman), Buck Braithwaite (Fair Play) and Bradley Riches (Heartstopper).

The second season was commissioned by Fiona Campbell, Controller of Youth Audience, BBC Three and BBC iPlayer. The series is made by Euston Films (Nightsleeper, The Sister), a Fremantle company, with support from Northern Ireland Screen. Executive producers are Noemi Spanos for Euston Films with Ryan J. Brown, Chris Baugh and Nick Lambon for the BBC.

The series is produced by Brendan Mullin (Dalgliesh) and directed by Chris Baugh (Boys from County Hell) and Louis Paxton (Shetland).
