Mark Gatiss's detective drama Bookish returns for season 2

The second season of the detective drama ‘Bookish’, starring and co-written by Mark Gatiss, features a returning central cast and several new guest stars. The series follows Gabriel Book, an antiquarian bookshop owner in 1946 who assists the police with investigations.

Season 2 includes returning actors such as Polly Walker, Connor Finch, Elliot Levey, Blake Harrison, and Buket Kömür. The new guest cast features Jason Watkins, Miranda Richardson, Simon Callow, Rupert Graves, and Claire Skinner.

In the episode ‘Memento Mori’, Gabriel Book investigates a case involving a mysterious séance hosted by a charismatic medium named Harold Sneed, played by Jason Watkins. The character name Sneed serves as an Easter egg referencing the character Gabriel Sneed from Gatiss’s 2005 ‘Doctor Who’ episode, ‘The Unquiet Dead’.
