The first season was crafted in a beautiful way, where the plot of the story developed around a legislative document to strengthen anti-terrorist activities in England.

An official announcement is yet to be made, but there are ample chances of having a second season. The first season left many unanswered scenarios, and they ought to be answered in the second season.

The first season was premised on the anti-terrorist legislation, which Julia Montague, the Home Secretary, was trying to pass in the parliament, and even that issue remained as it is, so this suffices to prove that the second season is inevitable.
