I was excited by Netflix’s Black Doves renewal, but Ben Whishaw’s disappointing season 2 update means we likely won’t see it this year


  • Black Doves star Ben Whishaw confirms season 2 won’t be released until 2026.
  • The hugely popular Netflix series was renewed ahead of its season 1 debut.
  • The show’s creator Joe Barton revealed that he’s currently writing season 2.

Back in December, Netflix delivered a splendid Christmas gift in the form of spy thriller Black Doves. Seeing Keira Knightley kick butt as an undercover agent was certainly a festive treat, and Netflix knew we would want more when it renewed Black Doves for a second season before season 1 even aired.

In Black Doves, queen of historical dramas Knightley swaps regency for revenge in the role of undercover spy Helen Webb. Helen, the wife of the Secretary of State for Defence, works for the spies-for-hire organization Black Doves and ‘acquires’ government secrets from her oblivious husband. However, her double life is threatened when her lover is killed by London’s criminal underworld. She teams up with fellow agent Sam (Ben Whishaw) and sets out on a revenge mission to find those responsible for his murder.
