The second series of crime thriller The Fall will return to BBC2 'soon', according to a post on the channel's Facebook page.

The highly stylised teaser clip sees Gillian Anderson returning as DSI Stella Gibson, here posed as one of the victims of serial killer Paul Spector (Jamie Dornan), who hovers menacingly around her.

While a number of viewers felt dissatisfied with the conclusion of the first series, in which Spector got away from Gibson at the last minute, the clip promises that this time, he is 'a killer within reach'.



The Fall's debut, in May 2013, was BBC2's highest-rating drama launch in eight years. Series two will be directed by The Fall's writer and creator Alan Cubitt, who replaces series one director Jakub Verbruggen.
