Richard Armitage, who plays the enigmatic Dr. Matthew Nolan in the crime-filled series, has expressed his enthusiasm for continuing the story. In an interview with Metro.co.uk, Armitage revealed, “I think there’s a strong desire to come back and do a second season. We’d all like to discover more about these characters and throw up another crazy scenario to see how they’d cope.”
Armitage hinted at deeper exploration of Nolan’s past in future episodes, promising to “fill out a comprehensive backstory.” This would provide further insight into the character’s mysterious nature, as Armitage himself admitted to struggling to fully understand Nolan during filming.
Despite expressing weariness with acting, Armitage conveyed his eagerness to transition behind the camera. He shared, “My desire to be in front of the camera is diminishing. I have a strong pull to be behind it – writing and producing. I want to come in at an earlier stage to shape stories.”
The news of a potential second season has thrilled Red Eye enthusiasts, who have praised the show’s suspenseful plot and compelling characters. The series, available for streaming on ITVX, has garnered widespread attention and left viewers yearning for more. Red Eye’s success highlights the enduring appeal of captivating thrillers that keep audiences enthralled from start to finish.
