Who’s ready for more of 5’s The Hardacres? We are set to take another trip to the Yorkshire Coast as series two of the hit series arrives. Inspired by the novels of C. L. Skelton, the first series was a huge hit — and we can’t wait for what’s next.
Following on from the first series, which saw the Hardacre family rise out of poverty and deal with the impact of a new fortune rubbing shoulders with the wealthy, whilst also rubbing them up the wrong way. And, the family are on the brink of transformation once again, this time in 1895, as modernity sweeps into Hardacre Hall with electricity and shifting loyalties
The second series of The Hardacres arrives tomorrow night (14th May) at 9 pm. So, get that in your diary as you won’t want to miss the first episode, as it’s set to be a whopper, as some images of tomorrow night’s episode have been released.
In the new series, Mary and Sam embrace wealth and opportunity, but their children begin forging identities that challenge expectations. Mary champions adult education for dock workers, while Sam expands the family business amid a looming recession, uncertain whether Joe is ready to succeed him. Determined to prove himself, Joe’s impulsive choices threaten his future.
Liza, recovering from romantic disappointment, is swept up in a chance encounter with a handsome stranger, while Harry’s plans to abandon school are transformed by an inspiring new tutor. Ma forms an unexpected bond, but as some relationships blossom, others are strained. As tensions rise, Lady Imelda Hansen arrives at the Fitzherberts’ home with a dangerous agenda, forcing the Hardacres to unite or risk losing everything.
New faces joining the cast for series two include Michele Dotrice (A Very English Scandal) as Lady Imelda Hansen, the formidable mother of Lady Emma Fitzherbert; Niall McNamee (Saipan, Bad Sisters) as Edward Blackwood; and Edward Mitchell as Arthur Lewis
