Yes, just in case you haven’t had your fill of long-haired men, gorgeous shots of period Paris and yes, tres saucy scenes between the bed sheets, more episodes of the BBC2 Anglo-French drama will air at some point next year. And they could be even more explosive.

The show’s second run, again headed by showrunners David Wolstencroft and Simon Mirren, will follow Louis (George Blagden) and Philippe (Alexander Vlahos) four years after yesterday’s brutal episode.

Here’s hoping it’ll be more of the same edgy drama with the certain je ne sais quoi that brought in an average of two million viewers throughout the first series.
