The heist will continue on the BBC, with Deadline reporting The Gold has been renewed for Season 2. The series is based on the 1983 Brink’s-Mat robbery, one of the biggest thefts in history. Season 1 aired on BBC and Paramount+. However, Deadline’s report states Paramount is not involved with Season 2, which begins filming in January 2024.
Season 2 will begin in the aftermath of Season 1, with the police realizing that half of the Brinks-Mat gold is still missing.
“As the police investigation continues, it becomes a tense, high-stakes journey into international money laundering and organized crime,” the official synopsis reads, “while the police embark on dramatic manhunts as they desperately try to solve the longest and most expensive investigation in the history of the Metropolitan Police.”
Who is Involved in The Gold?
The Gold stars Hugh Bonneville, Charlotte Spencer, Tom Cullen, Emun Elliott, Stefanie Martini, and Sam Spruell. All six actors are confirmed for Season 2. Season 1 also featured Dominic Cooper, Jack Lowden, and Sean Harris.
The Season 1 synopsis reads: “The series covers the 1983 Brink’s-Mat robbery in which £26 million worth of gold bullion, diamonds, and cash was stolen from a warehouse near Heathrow Airport, and the widespread events that followed over the following decade.
The Gold is created, written, and executive produced by Neil Forsyth. Season 1 directors included Aneil Karia and Lawrence Gough. Charlie Leech serves as a producer, with Tommy Bulfin, Kate Laffey, and Claire Sowerby-Sheppard serving as executive producers.
The Gold Season 1 premiered on February 12, 2023, on BBC One. It streamed on Paramount+ later that year on September 17. All six episodes are currently available to stream.
