Black Doves Season 2 Starts Filming in London
Black Doves Season 2 is officially underway, with Netflix confirming that filming has begun in London this week. Alongside the announcement, the streamer revealed an expanded cast, adding several acclaimed actors to the already star-studded lineup.
The new season picks up with Helen (Keira Knightley) continuing to leak state secrets to the covert organization. But with the explosive fallout of Season 1 still looming, and her husband now on the verge of becoming prime minister, Helen is forced into an even more perilous balancing act.

Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw and Sarah Lancashire have packed away the Christmas jumpers, and are set to return in spectacular form, joined by some season one favourites, and a brilliant new cast who bring wit, danger and a few perfectly timed surprises.
