The Bay series 2: How many episodes are there and when is the final instalment? Here’s what we know…

Thrilling drama The Bay is finally back on our screens with a brand new season.

The second installment of the crime series was supposed to air last year, but due to Covid setbacks it had to be delayed to January 2021.

But a new case involving a shock murder brings Lisa unexpectedly back into the front line again.

So, as we settle down to watch the brand new storyline, how many episodes are there in series 2 of The Bay?
