Featuring the return of Callum and Sephy, season 2 will focus on them urgently attempting to depart Albion in pursuit of a new life together, as the city they left behind erupts in the aftermath of Sephy's 'kidnapping.'

With the new series airing tonight, here's everything you need to know about Season 2 of Noughts + Crosses.

What is season 2 of Noughts + Crosses about?

Following up from last season, Sephy and Callum are both still alive but on the run. Given that both Sephy and Callum's brother Jude are still grieving over Callum's death in Knife Edge, it's difficult to see how the BBC could bring a realistic adaptation of the book to the screen with Callum still present.
