(“Into the Storm”) and leading Belgian director Kadir Ferratti Balsi (“Could Courage”). The second season of Hidden Assets was co-funded by Screen Ireland and Creative Europe Media.

The second series, which first aired on RTÉ Ireland in September this year, stars Nora-Jane Noone (“The Ibcress File”), Wooter Hendricks (“Undercover”) and Simone Kirby (“His Darkest Materials”).

Returning to Ireland after Richard Melnick’s memorial service, Bibi (Kirby) fears her father-in-law’s cronies have unfinished business. So he turns to the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) with an offer: immunity and impunity in exchange for information. However, there have been changes in the CAB and the new team leader, DS Claire Wallace (Noone), is less willing to deal with Bibi than her predecessor. But when coordinated cyber attacks on CAB and the Belgian counter-terrorism unit are linked to the Branigan case, Claire has no choice.
