BBC drops first trailer for Noughts and Crosses season 2 – and finally confirms release date

The award-winning novel gripped viewers when the first series hit our screens last year.

Produced by Mammoth Screen for the BBC, series two will dive viewers straight back into the dangerous, alternate world and promises to bring the iconic, forbidden love story between Sephy and Callum to its epic conclusion.

The first look trailer teased a pursuit to London, a wedding and a declaration to "finish this war."

Actors Jack Rowan and Masali Baduza will return as Callum and Sephy, now desperately attempting to flee Albion in search of a new life together.
