Will There Be A 'Bodyguard' Season 2? 'Line Of Duty' Can Tide You Over

One of the biggest surprise hits of last fall was the BBC/Netflix co-production, Bodyguard, which made an instant action hero of former Game of Thrones star Richard Madden. Though the ending was controversial, the series itself was not just arresting from the word go, but riveting as every episode zigged when most would expect it to zag. However, there's been some confusion on whether or not there will be a Season 2.

The fact is, anyone with storytelling acumen can tell that Bodyguard was initially conceptualized as a one-off. Madden's class-crossing love interest, The Rt. Hon. Julia Montague MP (played by Keeley Hawes) did not survive the first season. Madden's character, PS David Budd, ends the show vindicated, back with his family, and most importantly, in therapy for the raging case of PTSD he brought home from the war. While the government may still be corrupt, and those who wormed their way up the chain as greasy as those taken out, for the characters that matter, a happy ending was reached.
