Monroe season 2 press pack

monroe

ITV have made their press pack available for the new season of Monroe, which is likely to air on Monday 1 October at 9pm.

There is a small quote from Andrew Gower, who plays Dr Mullery, which is reproduced below, and also an episode synopsis for each scene which is absolutely full of spoilers so read it at your peril!

Andrew Gower on playing Mullery
“Mullery on the surface does not strike you as your typical surgeon…far from! But this second series allows you to see how throughout the hospital he’s actually becoming that little bit more ‘sought after’… And has the respect of his peers!
“With his new mentor and new specialty he’s more likely to speak his mind! And with that I think we discover he’s a surgeon who wears his heart on his sleeve!
“Peter Bowker writes beautiful tragic male characters and Mullery definitely falls into that bracket. Which makes him a pleasure to play!”

Dr Mullery’s role at St Matthew’s has changed since we last saw him:

Once Bremner’s cardio trainee, Mullery is now Gillespie’s registrar, specialising in general and vascular surgery. He seems slightly lost in the competitive world of surgery, but his sudden flashes of brilliance suggest that he might one day be an incredible surgeon.

It also has the cast list for each episode and we were pleased to see Karla Crome appearing in two episodes; Andrew will be appearing in the new series of Misfits with Karla Crome (read more), whose roles in Hit and Miss and Murder: Joint Enterprise were some of our standout performances of this year.

We are still waiting for the ITV announcement (it is expected today) of the air date for season 2 of Monroe, however several avenues have stated Monday, 1 October at 9pm is when we will see Dr Andrew Mullery return to our screens.

The Radio Times has popped up this morning with the 1 October air date. There is also an interview with James Nesbitt in today’s Metro newspaper that states Monroe will return on 1 October. Luke Allen-Gale, who plays Daniel Springer, has also announced it on his Twitter account.
