First images of the The Split two-part special released
We thought we has seen the last of the Defoe family when BBC's The Split came to an end after three seasons. But, we're in luck as the hit legal drama is returning for a two-part special...
That's right, our favourite lawyers will be returning to screen to explore the themes of love, legacy, and modern marriage against a stunning, Spanish backdrop for the new episodes, which are coming soon.
The Split special: Latest news, photos and trailer
The BBC has just released first look images at the new The Split special, showing the cast (both old and new) enjoying a sun-soaked wedding weekend in Spain. The new images give us a first glimpse at Toby Stephens' character, Archie Moore, who plays an eligible family lawyer.
Currently, no first look trailer for The Split two-part special has been released but watch this space.
From whether the full cast will return to what the plot will be and more, here is everything we know so far about The Split special so far...
The Split special: Plot
The official synopsis for the new episodes is as follows: "We left the final series with Hannah and Nathan attempting to divide up their twenty years together, and trying to navigate their way through a 'good divorce', questioning whether that is even possible.
"Two years on, formidable family lawyer Hannah Defoe (Nicola Walker) and her family are back and have gathered for a beautiful wedding at a magnificent vineyard, nestled in Catalonia’s wine region.
"Set across one sun soaked weekend, The Split will encompass break-ups, reunions and like all good weddings, plenty of romance. As the sun rises over the glorious Spanish countryside, Hannah is compelled to banish the ghosts of her past and open herself up to the possibility of love again. Can she find the courage to take the leap into a new future?"
The Split special: Cast
Annabel Scholey, Nicola Walker and Fiona Button will reprise their roles for the special episodes, plus a host of new characters will feature including Toby Stephens (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Black Sails) as Archie Moore.
Other cast members confirmed to return for the Spanish extravaganza include Stephen Mangan, Deborah Findlay, Ian McElhinney, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Elizabeth Roberts and Alex Guersman.
The Split special: Release date
The series was announced in May with filming beginning around then, so we may have to wait a little longer for the official release date for the two-part special to be announced. Watch this space...
