Keeley Hawes is stepping into Gone’s next mystery—and her character has secrets to hide. Joining returning lead Eve Myles, she’ll play a doctor whose past puts her under investigation in Season 2.
Three-time BAFTA nominee Keeley Hawes joins Eve Myles for the second season of ITV’s crime drama Gone, as a new psychological mystery takes the story into the medical world.
Creator George Kay (Lupin, Hijack) returns to write the six-part series, in which Detective Sergeant Annie Cassidy (Myles) investigates a respected doctor whose past raises troubling questions.
Hawes plays Dr. Rachel Manning, a medical professional suspected of concealing the truth behind a series of historical crimes. As evidence emerges, Cassidy must examine Manning’s actions and her apparent conviction that she acted “for the greater good of her patients.”
The premise sets up a conflict between professional responsibility and personal morality, asking what happens when someone entrusted with caring for others believes the ends justify the means.
It also marks a departure from the first season, which followed the disappearance of a headmaster’s wife. David Morrissey starred as the man whose possible involvement placed him at the center of suspicion.
ITV’s Director of Drama, Polly Hill, has described the next chapter as another surprising story exploring human behavior and the blurred boundaries between right and wrong. Hawes’s arrival gives Myles a compelling new counterpart as Cassidy tackles a different kind of investigation.
Filming is scheduled to begin in Bristol in 2027. New Pictures will produce the series, with Willow Grylls producing. Former Detective Superintendent Julie Mackay and ITV Crime Correspondent Robert Murphy will return as production consultants.
The announcement follows a successful first season that attracted more than 31 million streams on ITVX and broke the platform's streaming records.
With Hawes joining the cast and a case built around medical ethics, Gone’s second season has a promising foundation. The central question is unsettling: how far might a doctor go when convinced that harmful actions serve a greater good?
