The Fall has been recommissioned for a second series.

The crime drama - starring Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan - has given BBC Two their biggest drama series launch in eight years.

The channel has now confirmed that a second run of episodes will go into production in due course.

The show has achieved an average audience of 3.5 million so far following its premiere earlier this month. There are three episodes remaining of the first run, which ends on June 10.

The series focuses on Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson (Anderson), who is brought to Belfast to help catch serial killer Paul Spector (Dornan).

Ben Stephenson, controller of BBC Drama, said: "The Fall has proved both a critical and ratings hit for BBC Two and another reminder of the resurgence of drama on the channel.

"With more of Allan Cubitt's intricate and thrilling plot revelations yet to unfold through the captivating performances of Gillian and Jamie, a second series is a must

Obviously we can't give too much away as the first series builds to a gripping cliffhanger, but what we can say is it will be surprising and intense as the first."

Writer and creator Allan Cubitt added: "The BBC has been an incredibly supportive partner in this project, and working with BBC NI and the Artists Studio has been the best experience of my career to date.

"I always envisioned The Fall as a returning series and wish to congratulate both Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan who have played their parts to perfection."

The Fall continues tonight (May 27) at 9pm on BBC Two.

The Fall?s second season, which runs an extended length of 6 episodes, is poised to the pick up from the season one finale which saw serial killer Paul Spector (Jamie Dornan) evading the police investigation headed by Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson (Gillian Anderson). A personal link from Spector?s past opens up some clues for Gibson but provokes Spector in way that threatens to jeopardise the whole investigation. Gibson is forced to take ever greater risks but the closer she comes to capturing him, the more Spector trespasses into her private world, delighting in taunting and provoking her. As the net gradually tightens around him he becomes psychologically ever more dangerous and destructive.
