“I know there’s an adage that your failure should be surprising. Mercurio said he was surprised that the first season of Bodyguard became among the BBC’s biggest TV shows of 2018.
The police drama was then picked up by Netflix, while Line of Duty, another of Mercurio’s dramas, streams stateside on Acorn TV. Mercurio’s appearance at the fest in the Canadian Rockies follows Bodyguard - on which Richard Madden ( Game of Thrones) plays an embattled protector caught up in a devious assassination plot - grabbing a peak audience of 11 million viewers, or a 47.9 percent share for the finale on BBC One. He also confirmed the BBC has not yet officially greenlit a second season.
There’s no real update now,” Mercurio told a keynote session at the Banff World Media Festival. After the first-season finale of Bodyguard became a small-screen phenomenon, series creator Jed Mercurio on Monday said he’s in talks with the BBC about a second season.
