A captivating watch for the whole family, the new series picks up from the season one cliffhanger, in which we saw our young protagonists struggle with the realisation they weren’t alone in their quest for answers.
In series one of the BAFTA-nominated mystery hit, Louis, Kaz, Meg and Glen (known as ‘Dragonfly’) begin a thrilling adventure to uncover the truth behind an alien Artefact they find buried in the woods.
In series two, Dragonfly will compete against three other groups in a series of challenges designed by a strange alien presence. Each task takes place in a very different alternate reality and these sixteen kids must now use their wits and imaginations to win.
The cast includes Katy Byrne (Duchess), Oliver Cunliffe (Starfish, Safe Space), Krish Misra (Invasion), Aoife Hughes (A Christmas Star) and Maiya Silveston, with stage-star Frances Mayli McCann (Bonnie & Clyde, Heathers the Musical, Shetland, River City) and Fayez Bakhsh (The Attack, The State).
Cheryl Taylor, Creative Director, Zodiak Productions UK said: "Silverpoint’s second season rewards fans with ever more tantalising twists and turns.
"Our well-loved characters face new challenges and their friendship is further tested as this unique sci-fi mystery develops.
"With stunning production values and a supremely talented young cast, we are confident that Silverpoint series two will be essential viewing for young viewers and their families.”
All series 2 episodes will be available on BBC iPlayer from Wednesday, May 17.
