The BBC has teased first-look pictures of the return of hit drama Vigil, which is set to return for a second season later this year. The thriller stars Suranne Jones and Rose Leslie as Detective Chief Inspector Amy Silva and Detective Sergeant Kirsten Longacre respectively.
In the first season, the pair investigated the death of a crew member onboard Trident nuclear submarine HMS Vigil. Now they're taking to the skies as they enter the secret world of drone warfare to catch a killer.
Following multiple deaths at a Scottish weapons test, Amy and Kirsten are tasked with finding out the cause. Entering the closed ranks of the air force in Scotland and the Middle East, the pair face the deadly warfare of tomorrow as they fight for their own uncertain future.
