# Paramount+ Brings Back the Dark Thriller 'The Crow Girl' for a Second Season

Paramount+ has released a trailer for the second season of 'The Crow Girl,' the British psychological thriller adapted from Erik Axl Sund's Nordic-noir novels, with stars Eve Myles and Katherine Kelly returning ahead of a July premiere.

Streaming's steady appetite for brooding crime drama continues: Paramount+ has put out a trailer for the return of "The Crow Girl," the British psychological thriller that drew a following with its first run.

## The return

The streamer has [released a Season 2 trailer](https://deadline.com/2026/07/crow-girl-season-2-trailer-paramount-plus-1236972138/) ahead of a July premiere on Paramount+ in the UK and Ireland, [The Hollywood Reporter reported](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/paramount-plus-uk-eve-myles-drama-the-crow-girl-season-2-1236378503/) when the season was set. Eve Myles and Katherine Kelly return in the lead roles — a detective and a psychotherapist whose lives intertwine across a disturbing investigation — for another six-episode run, [Geektown noted](https://www.geektown.co.uk/2026/06/08/the-crow-girl-season-2-gets-july-premiere-date-on-paramount-uk/).

## The source material

"The Crow Girl" is adapted from the Nordic-noir novels published under the pen name Erik Axl Sund — the Swedish writing duo of Jerker Eriksson and Håkan Axlander Sundquist — whose dark, psychologically dense trilogy became a bestseller in Sweden and beyond. The television version relocates the story to Britain, keeping the genre's hallmarks: grim crimes, damaged characters and a slow unravelling of buried trauma.

## Part of a bigger pattern

The show is one more entry in the long boom of "Nordic noir" and its export-friendly imitators — moody, character-driven crime dramas that travel well internationally and give streaming services reliably bingeable fare. For Paramount+, a second season of an established British thriller is a modest but telling bet: as platforms fight for subscribers, recognizable genre series with a built-in audience are exactly the kind of programming they keep coming back to. U.S. availability, as with many UK-first Paramount+ titles, is expected to follow.
