Although he is thought to be dead, Fantastic Four actor Ioan Gruffudd will reprise his role as Andrew for a second series, and is thought to be appearing in flashbacks. The first series was a huge hit with critics and viewers alike, and was the highest rated drama of 2017. Speaking about the series, Joanne previously said: "I like a challenge. I think I work better with a challenge, and there can be a challenge, in so many different ways... It’s a story and subject matter that I feel is really tackled, in such an original way, and opened up so many questions when I read the script. The viewers are going to sit there going, 'What about this? What do I think about this? Why am I thinking this? What do I think about him and her, and everybody around them?' I just found it a fascinating project."
