The first season of Vigil, which premiered in 2021, debuted to critical acclaim. Season 2, moreover, promises another successful run for the Peacock series. Consisting of six episodes, the second season of Vigil will see Suranne Jones’s DCI Amy Silva and Rose Leslie’s DI Kirsten Longacre embark on a delicate and dangerous job inside a Scottish military facility, where they must conduct an intense internal investigation.
The official synopsis for Vigil Season 2 reads: “Following multiple unexplained fatalities at a Scottish military facility, DCI Amy Silva and DI Kirsten Longacre are tasked with uncovering the cause. Entering the hostile and closed ranks of the air force, the pair must face the deadly warfare of tomorrow as they fight for their own future.”
