“The North Water ss 2”: release date, announcement

The sequel to the dramatic “The North Water” has yet to be announced. Season 1 was rated 7.9 on IMDb, the world’s largest internet cinema database, but the TV show’s creator, Andrew Haigh, is currently working on another project.

Plot

Captain Brownlee selected people for the next voyage. And when everything was already ready, he set off with them on a journey through the northern waters. In his head were large-scale plans related not only to whaling. Brownlee was engrossed in another business, which brought him much more profit, but had to be kept secret from the rest as it was illegal.

One of his subordinates on the ship was former military doctor Patrick Sumner, whose presence raised dozens of questions among sailors. And while Sumner replenished the captain’s pharmacy stocks, focusing on those necessary for himself, the men behind him whispered and wondered. After all, Patrick’s place was in more elite ranks than here, among drunks and brawlers.

In fact, an old mistake prevented Patrick from staying on land. He had to flee in order not to get under investigation, and then to prison. Almost every day, the poor man saw the ghost of a murdered African boy, but who is he? Why is Sumner so afraid and why is he hiding away from officials and justice?

Henry Drax also went to try his luck and make money on the ship headed by Brownlee. It was a great luck for Drax to be here, because he was so drunk and impoverished that he forgot about the elementary standards of decency. The day before the voyage, he cut the throat of an offender who did not want to buy him a drink in the alley. Does Henry feel guilty for the death of a man? It’s not about him.

But the harpooner from it is excellent. Enjoying a drink in the ship’s cabin, he gets the job done with enthusiasm. The drunkard goes out on the ice to kill a couple of seals. Butchering an animal is not difficult for him, but everything changes when life brings him to a former doctor. Having caught him in a lie, Henry, along with another sailor, decides to climb into the cabin and find something of value.

Soon Drax and Sumner become aware of each other’s secrets, but by this time only one of them should remain on the ship. Who will it be? And how can someone destroy an adult man in front of dozens of sailors just like that?
