Year of the Rabbit Season 2

XIX century. London streets are full of criminals, ready to kill people at almost every step. Good detectives are sorely lacking, so Inspector Rabbit gets away with many antics. For example, heavy drinking, which rarely turns into sober everyday life. Having lost patience, the police chief decides to assign a young, trained detective to him.

When will the series “Year of the Rabbit Season 2” be released?

In February 2020, the management of the TV show “Year of the Rabbit” officially announced that they were scheduled to release season 2. However, Channel 4 refused to fund the TV project, as the coronavirus pandemic caused them big financial problems. At the moment, the fate of the new episodes of the show is unknown.
The picture has already been noted by critics as a kind of source of humor. But not all viewers enjoyed this kind of humor. The ratings of the series are kept at average marks, and the creators do not hide that the new season may be the final one.

Plot

Inspector Rabbit for many years abused alcohol, but at the same time retained first-class skills in apprehending criminals. When the police chief decided to put a young Strauss with Rabbit, he could not even imagine what a strange and strong union was creating. Not a single crime passed, as the partners became friends among themselves, and also adopted a third member in their small group.

It turned out to be the daughter of the police chief, who dreams of working in the ranks of the cops. But the strict father does not give the go-ahead. Unfortunately, in the XIX century, women had no right to work in the police, so the father categorically forbade Mabel to work in his unit. With a tough temper and an inquiring mind, Mabel helps Rabbit and Strauss to investigate the crimes that fall to their lot.

Over the years of service, Rabbit has accumulated enemies who take advantage of the stupidity of London society. Tanner brags about his success in the detective business, although in reality he doesn’t represent anything. Popularity came to him due to the fact that he imprisoned innocent people accused of crimes that Tanner had to uncover.

During the first season, the trio became so close that Rabbit could no longer work alone. Clever Mabel, cheerful Strauss is so sunk into his soul that he is ready to give his life for each of them. Everyone has his own approach to business, and Rabbit is already beginning to understand that old age is inexorably approaching. The heart is already knocked out and he has to put it in place with a thump in the chest.

As a result, the guys will continue to fight their fears. The rabbit will try not to drink, Mabel will even more strongly resist in the fight for work, and Strauss will remain a good little man who can hardly cope with men’s needs. Well, what crimes will fall on their heads – until it remains a mystery.
