BBC drama The Split burst back onto screens in 2018 and followed a family firm of divorce lawyers. The lawyers faced just as much drama in their personal lives as they did professionally. Their clients, too, had plenty to turmoil to keep viewers gripped.
Where is The Split season 2 set?
Season two of The Split got the green light from the BBC in 2018, not long after the first outing aired.
The second series will see the action taking place in London in the high stakes drama.
Many scenes will be set in the offices of the newly merged law firm Noble Hale Defoe.
However, other scenes will be set in the homes of the main characters.
