Produced by Eagle Eye Drama in affiliation with Beta Film, “Patience” Season 2 continues to build on its success: On Channel 4, the collection was the channel’s most-watched present across linear and streaming since its return. With the first episode delivering a 28-day viewers of 4.2 million, and streaming viewing minutes up 38% 12 months on 12 months, this marks 18% rise on the launch of Season 1.

In the U.S., “Patience” was also certainly one of the most common collection of 2025 on PBS’s digital platforms.

Detective Frankie Monroe brings a radically different administration model, sparking tensions and forcing each “Patience” and “Frankie” to regulate.

Recently greenlit for a 3rd season, “Patience” is about to start capturing in Belgium and York this spring. Returning alongside Ella Maisy Purvis and Jessica Hynes are Nathan Welsh (“Trying,” “Domina”), Mark Benton (“Bookish,” “Inside No. 9”), Adrian Rawlins (“Inspector Barnaby,” “Slow Horses”), Tom Lewis (“Gentlemen Jack”), Ali Ariaie (“The Great,” “The Couple Next Door – Deadly Attraction”), and Liza Sadovy (“Outlander,” “A Real Pain”).
