When asked if there was the potential for a second season, he told press including Express.co.uk: “Not so much with Sean because I think he wants to move on.
“Quite rightly, he will be thinking what more can I do with that character. When you see what we put him through, you will understand that there’s not so much.”
On the one hand, I'd love to see more of Fr Michael, but on the other the drama was so perfect and so complete that I don't see how it could be continued at the same level. Since there was a resolution of Fr Michael's inner turmoil, the same tension won't be there. McGovern and Sean and everybody really pulled out all the stops on this; I think I'm happy to be grateful for the gift.
But if this doesn't win every BAFTA going, then BAFTAs are meaningless. Not sure which actress should win though. Anna Friel seems to have been the star attraction and she was very good, but I was far more intrigued with Paula Malcolmsen as Roz, and then Muna Otaru was just immense.
