Fantastic news! This means the BBC must have re-commissioned the series =)
Of course we have no details as yet, if indeed the cast will return or not. It could go down the same road as with ‘The Street’ in keeping some cast and explore new stories through new characters. But even if Jonas no longer takes part, really glad the series will continue as I enjoyed watching it a lot! 😀
ps: Follow @prisoners_wives on twitter for all the latest news for Series 2! (it’s the official BBC twitter page for the series) 😉
UPDATE 25/04 : Official BBC re-commissions Prisoners’ Wives
Jonas Armstrong Blog 
That is wonderful news, thank you for sharing. The entire series of The Street was excellent, so this is something really special to look forward to. I guess it will depend on how each storyline finishes in the final episode next week, whether there is room to continue on warranting a second season. Very encouraging news.
The BBC in all their wisdom has yet to commission series 2 !
None of the series 1 actors have been booked.
Scripts are being worked on but that means nothing ..
@Prisoners_Wives confirmed it though about series 2 Emma Rigby has let known by email to fans that she definitely won’t be returning. But in recent tweets the cast are also pretty sure there’s a series 2 but are indeed not certain yet if their character will return or not… (like Natalie Gavin).
Yay, it would be good for Jonas to return as he acted this really well. I’m not sure how they are going to do it but I am sure it will be great. I really enjoyed series 1, can’t wait.
Unfortuanately it’ll probably be late 2013 by the time we get to watch it 😦
Sadly Emma Rigby already confirmed she isn’t coming back to season 2, which makes it extremely unlikely for Jonas to return. 😦
That said looking forward to see the next series, as I really enjoyed it! 😀
Good point 😦
)
The story will probably continue on the drug dealing mother and family ( forgotten names
What date is prisoners’ wives back on miss it being on? Series1 was really good poor gemma almost getting shot because of steve killing that man. People put it back on soon!!!
They are currently working on the scripts. My best guess it will be back on early 2013, if they follow the same filming schedule as for series 1 ( August – November) So still a good while of waiting sadly 😦
I loved this show cant wait till series 2 comes on best show on Tv
