The BBC has just dropped the second season of gritty war drama, Dark Hearts , which follows a close-knit, elite military unit as they take on a dangerous extraction mission in 2016 war-torn Iraq. The French action series, which first aired in 2023 with six episodes and is directed by Academy Award nominee Ziad Doueiri (The Insult), has been hailed as "brilliant" and a "must-watch" by viewers, with one person calling season two just as "good and tense" as the first.

Upon the BBC's acquisition of series one back in 2023, Sue Deeks, Head of BBC Programme Acquisition, teased the series as a "gripping mix of action drama and espionage thriller", which gives a "fascinating insight into the lives of a close-knit elite military unit who know that every mission could be their last".
