Rebus season 2 is officially on the way after a nervous wait for fans. It's taken over a year, but the BBC has at last confirmed that Richard Rankin will return as a young DS John Rebus for a fresh case.
Set in Edinburgh, the six-part first series was based on the best-selling novels by Ian Rankin and received widespread critical acclaim. Richard Rankin gave the cop a wonderfully edgy vibe while also, at times, being rather witty. When asked to show his new partner Siobhan Clarke the ropes, Rebus quips: "There are no ropes, they went out with the last budget cut".
