A blow for those hoping for River Season 2.
Lead actor Stellan Skarsgård says that while he’d be game for reprising his role in a second season of the BBC One crime drama, he sees it as “a one-off piece,” per Digital Spy:
“I don’t understand how to continue it, but if [writer] Abi Morgan comes up with a very brilliant idea to continue the series, I would of course be interested.”
Stay tuned to find out whether River does indeed sink or swim after one season…

Loved River. Hope it comes back. Bored with X Factor and Celebrity shows, but love Simon Cowell and Ant and Dec. Loved Adelle on X Factor. Think probably all of these shows are fixed, even when they take into account viewers votes. BBC too! SCD comes to mind. But thought Jay and Aliona deserved to win this year. I love Dermot O’Leary and Olly Murs but not sure about Olly on XF. Definately not sure about Caroline Flack! Sorry.

I love River. Was so looking forward to Season 2. Still hoping they will bring it back. Most creative series in years!

River was brilliant! Stellan Skarsgård and Nicola Walker were heart wrenching in their roles. The “ghost” of Stevie was written and directed with clarity and as an artistic tool was played with fluidity.
Turn the tide of oceans, return River to us.

I was also hoping to see these characters come to life again. The acting was first rate by all of the cast. The writing ,directing subtle and nuanced.
