While we've recently been treated to first-look images of the awaited second season of Time, we finally now know when the series is set to air on BBC One and iPlayer – and it's sooner than you may think.
The new series, which stars Jodie Whittaker, Bella Ramsey and Tamara Lawrance, has been confirmed to air on BBC One on Sunday 29th October at 9pm.
The series is an anticipated follow-up of the first season, which saw Stephen Graham and Sean Bean take on lead roles as a conflicted prison officer and a former teacher consumed by guilt and demons from his own past.
Well now, the female-led series will centre on a woman's prison in which Whittaker, Ramsey and Lawrance will star as Orla, Kelsey and Abi respectively. The trio arrive at Carlingford Prison on the same day and are left to navigate this new life together as they deal with the unfamiliar.
