ITV Encore Sets UK Premiere Date Jordskott Season 2

ITV Encore has confirmed a UK premiere date for the second season of Jordskott, the Swedish crime drama that mixes police procedural elements with folklore and supernatural themes. The announcement signals the network will add the new run to its schedule for viewers who follow Scandinavian thrillers.

Jordskott centres on detective Eva Thörnblad as she returns to investigate a series of complex cases in her rural hometown, uncovering links between criminal activity, local legends and the surrounding natural environment. The forthcoming season is billed as expanding the show’s central mysteries and introducing further revelations that intertwine the human and the uncanny.

The series has drawn attention for its moody atmosphere and performance-driven storytelling, and ITV Encore’s acquisition follows earlier moves to bring the title to UK screens. ITV Encore first secured rights to the show when it acquired the series for the channel, a previous announcement that introduced Jordskott to British audiences when the network acquired the series.

Producers say the new season will deepen character arcs while maintaining the series’ blend of crime investigation and mythic elements. The ensemble cast is expected to continue delivering performances that emphasise the emotional stakes behind the central mysteries.

The decision to schedule Jordskott’s return follows growing UK appetite for Nordic noir and specialist acquisitions on ITV Encore, which has recently announced other premiere dates as part of its international drama roster. The channel has previously set UK launches for titles in its catalogue, including US drama acquisitions such as The Americans, and has kept up steady commissioning and acquisition activity for premium drama.

According to production statements, Season 2 will probe deeper into the community’s secrets and into Eva’s personal struggles, exploring how folklore and human behaviour are connected in the narrative. The season is framed to deliver both procedural investigation and wider thematic exploration of the town’s history.

Critics have praised Jordskott for its cinematic production values and its successful integration of folklore into a contemporary crime drama, and expectations are that the second season will build on those qualities. ITV Encore will publish full broadcast details and viewing options in the lead-up to the premiere, offering UK audiences the chance to catch the series on linear and on-demand platforms.
