Bulletproof, the buddy-cop drama starring Noel Clarke and Ashley Walters, has been given a second-season renewal by Sky One.

The premiere of the series in May delivered a cumulative average audience of 1.59 million viewers, the biggest Sky One audience of the year so far. The Vertigo Films production, distributed by Sky Vision, was written and created by Clarke, Walters and Nick Love.

Clarke commented, “This is a culturally significant and groundbreaking show in many ways, and we appreciate the record views and support along the way. We made this show for people we feel are underrepresented so they could be entertained, which they were, and they came out in droves to watch. Thank you to all who tuned in and see you for series two.”

Walters added, “The audience response to the show has been overwhelming. I’m looking forward to working with the rest of the Bulletproof team on series two—we’ve got some exciting storylines lined up. The action and drama is about to step up to the next level!”

Anne Mensah, head of drama at Sky, said, “The combination of heart-pumping car chases and emotionally charged storylines made Bulletproof’s first series a must-watch for our viewers. We’re excited to be working with Noel and Ashley to bring back Britain’s new favorite cop-buddy duo for even more action, laughs and thrills next series.”
