In what is a strong sign of confidence in their new daytime drama, BBC One has handed out an early second season renewal to The Mallorca Files. The renewal comes some two weeks before the series is set to premiere on the BBC's flagship channel. Ten episodes have been ordered for the show's second season. 
After recurring on the show's first season, Tanya Moodie has been upped to series regular for the second season of The Mallorca Files. Additionally, Phil Daniels (Sliced, Quadrophenia) and Josette Simon (Broadchurch, Blake’s Seven) have been tapped for guest starring roles in the new season, which is now filming ahead of a 2020 premiere. 
BBC One has found the two leads for The Mallorca Files. Elen Rhys (Broadchurch) and Julian Looman (Cop Stories) have been tapped to to star in the ten part daytime drama series which hails from The Good Karma Hospital and Trust Me creator Dan Sefton. 
Dan Sefton is proving to be one of the most prolific British TV writers of recent memory. The scribe - who has The Good Karma Hospital at ITV, Porters at UKTV's Dave channel, Trust Me at BBC One, and Delicious at Sky One - has set a new project with the BBC. The Mallorca Files, about a British and German detective clashing over their very different approaches to policing the island, has been green-lit at the Beeb for BBC One's daytime schedule. The show's ten episode first season will be made available in its entirety on the BBC iPlayer on the same day the first episode premieres on BBC One.
