The Crow Girl Season 2 release & broadcast wrap

Entities: Paramount+ · The Crow Girl (TV series) · Channel 5 (UK) · Bristol · Benidorm Is Murder

Overview

Paramount+ launched the eight‑part second series of the British crime drama *The Crow Girl* on 20 July 2026, streaming all episodes simultaneously in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The season continues the partnership of DCI Jeanette Kilburn (Eve Myles) and psychotherapist Dr Sophia Craven (Katherine Kelly) as they investigate murders of young male asylum seekers, including a body found in a freezer and a mummified corpse hidden in a church wall.

Fan reaction on social media was strong, with many dubbing the show “the show of the year” and urging a third season, though no official renewal has been announced. Critics described the series as a “masterpiece” and highlighted Kelly’s performance; co‑star Myles called it “extraordinary.”

The season was released as a complete box‑set on Paramount+, filmed primarily at The Bottle Yard Studios and on location around Bristol, showcasing landmarks such as the River Avon and historic streets. Channel 5 concluded its broadcast run on 29 July 2026 after a two‑week primetime slot and introduced the cosy‑crime drama *Benidorm is Murder* as its replacement. The first season remains in rebroadcast on Channel 5 while staying available via the streaming service.
