“She’s not the sweet child you think she is.” That’s the sound of Apple TV+ thriller Servant returning for a second season.

The series, written and created by Tony Basgallop and exec-produced and directed by M Night Shyamalan, follows a Philadelphia couple in mourning after an unspeakable tragedy creates a rift in their marriage and opens the door for a mysterious force to enter their home. Lauren Ambrose stars as Dorothy, a mother who hires a young nanny to help care for their newborn child. Toby Kebbell co-stars as her husband, Sean, and Nell Tiger Free stars as Leanne, the nanny. Rupert Grint also stars as Dorothy’s younger brother, Julian.

“Shyamalan’s stylish storytelling doesn’t disappoint, ensuring that with each faintly ridiculous twist, you don’t lose the urge to keep watching,” we wrote in our review of Season 1.

The show was swiftly renewed for a second run and now, we’ve got our first proper look at what’s in store for Dorothy and Sean. The new trailer for the sophomore season immerses us back in a family divided by belief, by loss, by suspicion and by where they draw the line of how far is too far. Find out the answer to that mystery and many more on 15th January, when Season 2 premieres on Apple TV+, with each of the 10 episodes arriving weekly on Fridays.

Here’s the new video:

 

Servant is available on Apple TV+, as part of a £4.99 monthly subscription, with a seven-day free trial. For more information on Apple TV+ and how to get it, click here.
