BBC legal drama. The Split is making an unexpected reappearance after its final season aired two years ago.
The sitcom followed the lives of three Dafoe sisters, Hannah (Nicola Walker), Nina (Annabel Scholey), Rose (Fiona Button), and their mother Ruth (Deborah Findlay), all of whom are divorce attorneys.
All of the female lead characters will return for The Split’s shocking two-part special, which will premiere later this year on BBC One and iPlayer.
Set two years after the third season, the two-parter follows divorced Hannah as she considers finding love again at a stunning wedding in Catalonia’s wine region.
According to the BBC, the special will encompass ‘break-ups, reunions and like all good weddings, plenty of romance.’
Stephen Mangan, Ian McElhinney, and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith are among the new performers scheduled to return for the Spanish spectacle, which also stars Toby Stephens and the four Dafoe ladies.
Production on Abi Morgan’s The Split has begun, with some scenes shot in Barcelona.
Abi teased what to anticipate from the two-parter, saying: “In a world of brutal breakups and tantalising make-ups, the Defoe family are invited to their own destination wedding, promising everything audiences have grown to love about The Split.”
‘Problematic prenups, scandalous wedding crashers, and low flying marriage proposals, as rom com meets gone wrong, in a chaotic and riotous weekend that guarantees to crack open the heart, before the last of the guests have gone home.’
It is not the first time Abi and the team behind The Split have thrown a huge curveball.
In season 2, audiences were stunned when Hannah and Nathan’s (Stephen Mangan) formerly rock-solid marriage broke apart.
During the series conclusion, the former couple chose to officially end their relationship and go through an amicable divorce without the need of lawyers.
The Split premiered on the BBC in 2018 and lasted for three seasons and 18 episodes until 2022.
The Split special is set to air on BBC One and iPlayer later this year.
