“The Rising” Season 2 has been canceled just months before production was due to start, Variety has learned.

Cast and crew were gearing up for the Sky Studios show when they were told to down tools two months before principal photography got underway. “It was canceled before they were due to start filming,” a source familiar with the project told Variety. “All the cast and everything [were ready to go] and they just pulled the plug.”

Variety understands there were a “number of reasons” the production will not go ahead.

The second season, which was set to be titled “Risen,” was due to have a similar premise to the first but with different characters, settings and themes, turning the show into something of an anthology series.

The debut season of the supernatural crime thriller, which was Sky Studios’ first entirely in-house production, starred Clara Ruggaard as the ghost of a woman determined to track down...

Warning: contains The Rising spoilers.

The Rising is filled with all the twists and turns viewers have come to expect from a murder mystery drama. Adapted from Belgian crime thriller Beau Séjour, The Rising is set in small town in the British countryside, with sweeping landscapes and a thriving motocross community. The extra supernatural twist in this particular mystery is that its central character Neve Kelly (Clara Rugaard) is dead from the start, but for some reason remains on earth. She can be seen and heard by a select few, and with their help, she’s determined to figure out who murdered her and why. In this eight-episode Sky series, the first six instalments are spent making discoveries and following false leads. The show pulls no punches, and takes you on an emotional journey where no-one, for the most part, is presented as either entirely good or bad until the killer is revealed.

Warning: contains plot details for The Rising episodes 1-8 .

At first glance, The Rising is just another show about another dead girl. It would be understandable for viewers to dismiss it as one more drama in which a woman suffers life-ending violence at the hand of a man. As the story of a murdered teenager wandering the Earth and trying figure out who took her life, The Rising brings to mind the controversial Netflix adaptation Thirteen Reasons Why, but is tonally closer to acclaimed crime mystery Mare of Easttown. Based on Belgian drama Hotel Beau Sejour and written by The Pact‘s Pete McTighe, it’s set in a closely knit community that keeps everything pleasant enough on the surface, but contains lies, secrets and much worse. However, there’s something different about this series. Its murder victim Neve (Clara Rugaard) is not only present, but also used as more...

To celebrate the release of The Rising, the thrilling new series coming to Sky this weekend, we had the pleasure of chatting to the cast about the riveting and timely new show

The show, which airs on Sky Max and Nowtv, takes an unorthodox perspective of crime dramas. After Neve Kelly discovers she has been murdered and, confused by her new form of existence, she is determined to find her killer; believing it is someone she knew.

Chatting to the cast, including Clara Rugaard (Neve), Matthew McNulty (Tom), Emily Taaffe (Maria), Alex Lanipekun (Daniel), Nenda Neururer (Alex) and Solly McLeod (Joe), we spoke about the lure of the show and its unique approach to this kind of thriller series, portraying a character for a longer period of time and the acting challenges of such a role, as well the importance of shining a light on the shocking rise in cases in violence towards women.
