The BBC has released photos from the second season of its Suranne Jones and Rose Leslie-starring procedural thriller series Vigil.

Releasing the photos from the new season of the hit show, the BBC said: "In a brand-new investigation, Amy Silva (Suranne Jones) and Kirsten Longacre (Rose Leslie) look to the skies as they enter the secret world of drone warfare to catch a killer."

Amy Silva (Suranne Jones) and Kirsten Longacre (Rose Leslie) will "face the deadly warfare of tomorrow as they fight for their own uncertain future"

"Following multiple deaths at a Scottish weapons test, Silva and Longacre are tasked with finding out the cause," the BBC continued.

"Entering the closed ranks of the air force in Scotland and the Middle East, the pair face the deadly warfare of tomorrow as they fight for their own uncertain future.
