How to Watch Annika Season 2 in the US

Here’s everything you need to know about the return of Annika, the Scottish crime drama that dives deep into mysterious murders at sea—with a dose of sharp wit and emotional complexity.

Annika Season 2 Synopsis

In Annika Season 2, Nicola Walker returns as DI Annika Strandhed, the Norwegian-born detective leading Glasgow’s Marine Homicide Unit (MHU). As she solves baffling waterfront murders, Annika continues breaking the fourth wall with her signature introspective commentary. This season intensifies both her professional and personal challenges—especially as she struggles to reveal a life-altering truth: that her colleague Michael is the father of her teenage daughter, Morgan.

Meanwhile, the MHU team faces bizarre and brutal cases—from bodies encased in ice to corpses found in shark tanks. The personal stakes rise as relationships shift: Blair reveals her pregnancy, Tyrone exits the unit, and newcomer DS Harper Weston steps in. Annika also rekindles a romance and navigates strained family ties, all while staying one step ahead of Glasgow’s most chilling killers.
