Psychoville co-creator Steve Pemberton has composed a special message for you. He even warns those of a spoiler-sensitive disposition to look away before it's too late...

"Hello Blogfans!

滨鈥檓 delighted to announce that Psychoville Series 2 will finally be hitting your screens on Thursday 5th May, 10pm on 91热爆 Two..

It鈥檚 been almost 2 years since the first series went out and Reece and I are nervous about people remembering the show 鈥 but to those of you who do recall it I can assure you it鈥檚 been worth the wait. I honestly believe it鈥檚 the best work we鈥檝e ever done.

There was much unhappiness about the way we ended the first series with a cliffhanger: an explosion in an abandoned asylum where most of our main characters were gathered. Viewers were expecting more of a finale, having followed a twisting and turning narrative over seven episodes, and felt cheated at the end.

Of course it was never our intention to rob people of a conclusion: the first series presented us with questions about a mysterious blackmailer (who was he/she and why were they blackmailing these particular individuals?) and we felt that the ending we鈥檇 written provided answers to these questions - but we then wanted to suggest a whole new mystery waiting to unfold.

It鈥檚 true we took a gamble as no second series had been commissioned, but thankfully that paid off and we now have a whole new mystery to plunge our characters 鈥 and you the viewers 鈥 into.

So what can you expect over the coming weeks? Well 滨鈥檓 not a fan of 鈥荣辫辞颈濒别谤蝉鈥 so if you don鈥檛 want to know anything at all, then stop reading now.

Steve Pemberton as Mr Lomax

If you鈥檙e still reading, then I will remind you that at the end of the Halloween special we heard that there were 鈥渢wo dead, and two more critical鈥 after the explosion, and that the mysterious Grace Andrews (Imelda Staunton) was also looking for the locket belonging to Nurse Kenchington (Eileen Atkins). Episode one will fill you in on who鈥檚 alive and who鈥檚 dead, and you will be introduced to some new characters such as obsessive librarian Jeremy Goode (played by Reece) and overbearing make-up artist Hattie (me).

There are more shocking revelations, comic set-pieces and dangerous missions as well as blink-and-you鈥檒l-miss-them cameos from celebrity fans, such as the world-famous Hollywood film director and the popular TV presenter

And of course running alongside this we have created another Psychoville web experience which proved such a hit with fans last time. You will find a new website each week which will give you more back-story on the characters as well as giving you clues as to the secret of Kenchington鈥檚 locket.

Collect all the information, break the code and you could come face to face with鈥 ah, that would be telling. Enjoy, and just cross your fingers that we haven鈥檛 done a cliffhanger ending again."
