Fortitude, the horror-laden Arctic saga from Sky Atlantic, will be returning next year.

The creative team behind Sky Atlantic’s most successful original series will return with Simon Donald writing a brand new 10 part story set again in the unsettling Arctic town. Fifty Fathom’s Patrick Spence and Frith Triplady will return as Executive Producers. It will be coproduced once more with Participant Media’s television network, Pivot. Cast will be announced at a later date.

Zai Bennett, Channel Director, Sky Atlantic, said: “Simon Donald created a unique and unsettling story which, week after week, has captivated our customers. I am absolutely delighted that we will be bringing Fortitude back next year with a story that promises to engage, challenge and enthral us all over again.”

Simon Donald, creator and lead writer adds “It’s a privilege to return to Fortitude. It’s a place where the real and the feared live side by side, where old dark secrets thaw out into the chill light of the arctic day. I’d never been anywhere like Fortitude before and I can’t wait to go back.”

A review of the first season of Fortitude will be posted after tonight’s broadcast of the final episode of the first season.
