Speaking to HELLO! and other journalists at a recent press event, lead writer Pete revealed that if the show draws a large audience, he is keen to make more episodes. "It was very important to me that by the end of series one we do offer the audience a sense of closure," he said.

"There's nothing worse, I think, when you have a show that has a murder mystery component and you get to the end and you feel let down by the ending or you don't feel like you're getting enough answers."
He continued: "I think we answer all the key questions that you're going to want to have the answers to by the end of episode eight. But there are plenty of bigger questions about the supernatural world that are left hanging and that's a very deliberate move because I do have ideas for subsequent series, potentially, if we get the audience and people love it, that this is a show that could run for three, four, five series and I certainly have ideas for how we would do that."

Chatting about potentially expanding the show in the second series, Pete said: "It's a very exciting possibility to look at expanding the story beyond the town that we have and looking at how we would propel the characters and story into a new environment.
"It would be great to do, so fingers crossed," he added.
Sky's The Rising is available to stream on Sky Max and NOW.
