The start date for Utopia's second series has been announced by Channel 4.

The conspiracy thriller will open with a double bill over two nights on Monday, July 14 and Tuesday, July 15 at 10pm.



Utopia's new six-part run from writer Dennis Kelly follows 2013's acclaimed first series.

Rose Leslie (Game of Thrones), Ian McDiarmid (Star Wars) and Tom Burke (The Musketeers) are among the new cast additions for series two, joining returning cast members Fiona O'Shaughnessy, Alexandra Roach and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett.

Leslie will play a younger version of Geraldine James's character Milner in flashback scenes, while Burke plays Philip Carvel - author of the Utopia manuscript.

A US adaptation of Utopia is also in the works, with David Fincher attached to produce and direct and Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn on scripting duties for HBO.
