What is the plot of ‘We Hunt Together’ Season 2?
The plot of the series revolves around the odd cop couple DS Lola Franks (Eve Myles) and DI Jackson Mendy (Babou Ceesay). Both of them are hell bent this time around to catch the sinister murderer Freddy Lane (Hermoine Corfield) as she committed tons of murders during their last case. But this isn’t as easy as it looks. A new serial-killer named The Birdman is on the loose who is also seen killing people mercilessly. This killer hides its identity behind a rubber bird mask. When Birdman strikes, he brings Freddy into the picture again and this time the cop couple decide on getting ahead in this game to catch and lock Freddy in jail for lifetime. But in a race to find The Birdman as the murders double up, they realize that this new murderer has a much darker and sinister plan which has Freddy and the police putting in their best to catch him up. Because The Birdman starts targeting people who are closest to Lola, Jackson and Freddy, it makes them all question about whom they can trust.
The official synopsis reads, “After season one’s shocking finale, season two picks up with conflicted odd couple cops DS Lola Franks (Myles) and DI Jackson Mendy (Ceesay) dead set on nailing Freddy Lane (Corfield) for her murderous role in their last case. When outrageous new serial killer The Birdman strikes, bringing Freddy into their orbit once more, they are determined to get ahead in this complicated and cunning hunt and lock her up once and for all. But, in a race to find The Birdman as the body count stacks up, it soon becomes clear that this new, devilishly dark murderer has a bigger plan that has both Freddy and the police chasing through the shadows as they try to unmask the sinister killer who starts to target victims close to Freddy, Jackson and Lola – and has them questioning just whom they can trust”.

Latest buzz about ‘We Hunt Together’ Season 2

In a recent interview with a media outlet in May 2022, opening up on the filming location of ‘We Hunt Together’ Season 2, actress Eve Myles said, “The second series of crime drama We Hunt Together used Newport as a location for many exterior shots. While the series is set in London, much of the filming was done in Wales with Newport in particular used often”.
Eve, talking about the way Wales has many good productions from all across the globe, also shared, “Wales at the moment, I'd say for the last 10 years, has been saturated in a really good way with lots of different productions coming from all over the world and that's just wonderful to see. We have really great industrial sites, we have countryside, the mountains and the ocean - it can cut for anything."
Spilling details on the shooting process, she added, “We've got a lot of exteriors in London that we've done as well, but it's cut fantastically well into the architecture into Newport. It's the magic of TV, it's really exciting when that happens”.
