The BBC has revealed a sneak peek at the upcoming series, which returns this autumn and will once again bring viewers back to the criminal underworld of Liverpool.
Filming for the new episodes also took place in Spain.
The story picks up immediately after the season one finale, with Michael Kavanagh and Diana Williams drawn back into the chaos to answer for the death of Ricardo Guzman.

BAFTA-nominated actor James Nelson-Joyce returns as Michael alongside Hannah Onslow as Diana, Michael’s partner.
Back in Liverpool, tensions continue to rise amongst the remaining gang members and an old school gangster from Ronnie’s era, recently out of prison, wants compensation from the firm.
There will be a host of returning cast members, including Jack McMullen as Jamie Phelan, Mike Noble as Banksey, and Julie Graham as Elaine Phelan and widow of murdered gang leader Ronnie (Sean Bean).
